Your dog definitely looks like it has red aussie cattle dog from the side, the face gives me questions, ,but that could be the other breed. From what I see in the general stature of the dog is very much what is the standard for the ACD's. The "cowlicks" around the neck and shoulders are very similar to my Red male, as is the lighter color of the tail. And...yes, all of my ACD's trot, except the fat one LOL, she saunters. It is very similar to the "run" that they do in presentations at dog shows, only slower. Other traits that might help ID the breed to ACD's is digging or pawing in the water dish. A high pitched bark/yelp to get attention which will nearly destroy your eardrums. Always "underfoot" or following you around or not letting you out of their sight. Sometimes destructive behavior linked to inactivity or boredom. Insatiable desire to eat/chash tennis balls. tendancy to want to nip at your heels or herding children. I hope this helps![]()
