Congratulations from the home of your forebears, Dakota. The Australian Cattle Dog is the national dog here in Australia...& you would be regarded as a very beautiful, alert member of that breed.
I wish you could travel to Australia next weekend because there's an event here called The Great Nundle Dog Race...where working dog breeds like you have a great race. Lots of them are Australian Cattle Dogs. And one called Bronson has won year after year. You can read about this race & see Bronson's pic on the site below.

Dakota, I'm sure you'd be a winner if you were able to take part in this race...because you're one of the finest ACDs I've ever seen. Enjoy being Dog of the Day & make sure you get lots of treats.
Marie
