I'd say 100% handsome!

Okay, I'm not an expert on Dog Breeds

~~~ However, I tend to think that Micki is Border Collie/Collie

and, I have to add that Micki is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

based as every BC I know around here(which is not far from where BC_mom lives)

size and wieght- purly Border Collie

markings- very common BC markings

tail- every BC I have ever know carries their tail like that

posture- like a cattle bred BC

coat- BC

ear set- BC

the only thing about him that does not scream Border Collie to me is his face, in a few of the pics his face looks Collie like and in other his face looks BC like so I am not sure on that one.

I really do believe he is BC/Collie. He has a very full body and face in which the sheltie doesn't have. and I maybe a little more bias for a Collie. lol

lol! Thanks guys.. my Mom still really believes he is BC/Sheltie.. but I've always thought BC/Collie because of his long face.. but other times, I do see BC/Sheltie

Nicole! How dare you post a picture of a look-a-like Aussie! lol
Mickey looks very Border Collie when you see him in real life, sometimes, depending on how he carries himself, he looks purebred. All I know is that his mother was a purebred Border Collie. No idea what the father was.

Maybe Mickey's a Border Collie/Collie/Sheltie/Australian Shepherd

My immediate thought was actually Australian Shepherd x Collie ^^

Mine too actually -- Aussie would lower the earset. Don't see too many collies/BCs with such low earsets, much more common in Aussies.

dunno.

there's a border collie w/ brown by my work. could have a granparent of the sled dog variety, from his looks, but i could be wrong. did you get him from a breeder or a shelter?
perhaps, as he gets older, you'll get clues, from his behavior. awww Mickey, you don't need a diet!
that is one gorgeous dog!! *hug & kiss from Daisy*

He's from a rescue.. he'll be turning 3 in October, so I don't think we'll see anymore changes in him! lol

Aussie x Collie? There's a new one!

No matter what Mickey is, I love him the same.. but I wish there was some kind of, DNA test or something you could get done! lol
