Border collies and aussies

First of all, it doesn't matter! You love her no matter what she is! lol

All I see in Runner is Aussie.

Australian Shepherds are usually a little bit stockier than BC's, and have wider heads and broader muzzles.

She has a tail so she's def mixed. Aussies don't have tails right?

And she's pretty quiet too. Very rarely do I hear her bark

Runner's face just screems AUssie to me. She's got some in her thats for sure. Some possible other breeds I see in her (keep in mind she can be a mix of more than 2 breeds) are: chow, sheltie, aus. cattle dog, spaniel.


Austrailan Shepherds can be born with a natural bobtail (short to no tail at all) but natural bobtail to natural bobtail breeding can result in some offspring with srerious spinal defects therefore *most* reputable breeders try not to breed for the natural bobtail anymore. (serious health problems can occur when you breed a merle to a merle as well)
Some Aussies have a full tail but most are docked.

Well.. she is just a pretty mutt then lol.

I have no idea what her background is. All I know is that one lady returned her because she wouldn't jog with her, and another lady returned he because she got sick. So now I have her. And have no intentions of returning her. She is perfect.

Sooo sweet too. Such a lap dog. Last night she got up into my bed and slept at my legs resting her head on me while I petted her face. She feels soooo loved. She really warmed up to me quick too. Cus all I do is give her lovins
