Help! Need info on Blue Heelers!

ACD's and Aussies are very, very different breeds to anyone experienced with them. The pups could be Aussie/ACD mixes or ACD mixed with something else. ACD x Border Collie is a popular mix, it's called a "texas heeler".

ACD's - stocky, shorter denser fur, always sporting "speckles" as opposed to the "merle" of Aussies, wider muzzle and skull, USUALLY prick-eared, tails are not supposed to be docked but some crappy breeders & some ranchers do, almost never have blue/light eyes.

Aussies - Very fluffy, finer facial structure, rose or semi-prick ears, tails are almost always docked, some have blue/green/hazel eyes, merle/tri/solid pattern (rarely are all pups in a litter merle), never speckled all over the body.

Well now I do think he must be a mix of some sort, LOL
He is speckled all over, however his ears are not pricked and he has a docked tail. He has a wide muzzle and skull, but right now his fur is pretty fluffy!
Well, tonight is the big night though! Will post pics ASAP :D

Lv4dogs. This pup and his siblings were surrendered to the shelter. He has been seen by a vet and has all his puppy shots already. He does not have a microchip. This guy had them on a farm and simply could not care for all of them, among all the other animals he had.
My other question now is, despite what we are being told I think he looks much more like an Australian Shepard...but I guess I"m not really sure. He's just a little fluff ball right now. Regardless of what he is, he is healthy and extremly sweet. I will post pics as soon as we get some!!

I am sorry, I thought when you said that you found a 9 week old puppy that you catually found him wandering the streets or the like. :p

Where abouts in NY are you? I live just outside of Rochester.

By the description it sounds as if he is an Aussie or possibly a mix.

Good luck & I can't wait for pics!!!

Kaige, the guy in my siggy is an Aussie if that helps you out any.
