    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.
    I've been BOO'd!

    I'll go with golden retriever and australian shepherd. You'll never know cause he isn't talkin'.

    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
