    I can see why you are so nervous about it now. Meaning no disrespect, but it's a shame she would do that

    I know. My Dad reassured me we won't get rid of her or send her back to the pound.. so I'm hoping for the best.

    Well I certainly hope all works out and she will be able to stay. She truly is adorable and I bet will grow into quite a little beauty .

    She looks like a full BC to me. She's got the BC ears

    I'm not getting involved in any arguements or anything, but i don't think Vela was being sarcastic. I think she was just a little confused as to why your mother would want rid of the dog if she was crossbred. All i'm saying is it didn't appear sarcastic to me, but maybe it did to you, and i know how people take things differently.

    I'm surprised how many of you think she's purebred!!

    I thought almost all of you would think she looked Husky!.. I guess I've been looking at too many black and white Husky pictures today. lol

    She definitley looks pure Border Collie to me I see no Husky or any other breed in her at all.

    she looks purebred BC to me

    that first photo you posted is a rescue dog, correct? so that dogs breed mix is probably a guess someone made up because thats what they *think* the dog is mixed with.

    what does it matter if she is part husky? what does your mom have against huskys?

    Thanks Miss Z, you are right I wasn't trying to be sarcastic, I was confused as to why, after adopting and loving a dog, someone would want to get rid of it if it turned out to be mixed with another breed of dog. Seems like that wouldn't or shouldn't really matter if you adopt a dog and love it and it fits in fine.

    BC-Mom, no need to jump to conclusions and be snippy to me, I didn't say anything rude to you in any manner. I certainly hope your mom doesn't get rid of her. That would be a shame, she looks very sweet.

    Thanks Jess for the great sig of my kids!

    Well, if my Mom really falls in love with her, she won't care. But we've only had her a week, but she's slowly growing on my Mom.

    She is a cutie pie! And, ahem-clears throat- huskies have many redeeming qualities. Just fyi, huskies are extremely loving and fun dogs. They're very smart, and, yes, they have a strong pack instinct, but if you have her inside with you, they you are her pack. I have to say, we had a BC mix and I found his energy level exhausting to keep up to. My huskies are very mellow.
    Purebred or not, both breeds have wonderful qualities and many times crosses get the best of both! Good luck, I hope you do get to keep her.

    Sarcasm isn't called for, really.. It all depends on her personality, too, to my Mom. Sure, she's a pup.. she loves everything now. But dogs change. I just asked a simple question as to whether you think Molly is crossed with Husky. No need to get sarcastic about it....
