everyone always thinks Timber is a boy.

So far, I've been asked if she is: a purebred husky , purebred collie , collie mal cross (that's alot more realistic), purebred border collie , a purebred belgian shepherd , a belgian shepherd cross (more realistic as she does carry belgian shepherd ) A long haired german shepherd, and a shepherd cross (which she also is)

Leather is always thought to be a boy, probably because she's so big lol

We rarely hear someone say she is a purebred shepherd. Everyone think she's a shepherd malamute cross, probably because of her colouring and size. We've also heard shepherd husky cross, white shepherd german shpeherd cross (as if they aren't the same ), and shepherd wolf cross (which I always comment on how she has such wolfish traits; the way she trots, her long legs etc)
