    He's adorable. I'm not knowledgeable about breeds, but I would guess collie mix, also. His hair is so soft and silky looking.

    I don't think they tricked you. Some shelters don't know how to identify a breed.. and can only make the best guess and I know that because I work at a shelter. I would guess shepherd/collie as well. Beautiful.

    He looks like Bacall a beautiful girl who we listed as shepherd/golden retriever. She probably had some sort of collie in her as well. She got a wonderful home and had an amazing personality!

    Shepherd/Border Collie mix. He could be Aussie instead of Border Collie, hard to tell, but I don't see any malamute in him at all! Whatever his mix is, he's a beauty!

    I think he is a cutie also. His name is Tippy. The vet said he wasn't sure it is hard to tell but he believes that he is collie and shepherd mix. He has SO much personality. He tries to talk a lot and he's very smart (we all think that of our dogs right?). He was housebroken in two weeks.

    @Luv I was really only teasing when I said the shelter tricked me...they didn't make me take him home once I saw him it was my choice right? But how could I resist. It was more of a marketing ploy to give the thread more viewers . The shelters do the best job they can with limited information. He was found on the street so they really had nothing to work with. I applaud the shelter workers for all of the hard work they do.

    OMG, Bacall looks just like TIp. I showed the pic to my husband and he asked when did you take that pic? I said that's not our dog
