What kind of dog is Casey?

I might say she's Aussie/Lab.

Her coloring says Aussie and her build says Lab. Her ears look Aussie to me too.

For insurance purposes, I'd probably just say she is a Lab mix.

That is an adorable picture of her too.

Her picture doesn't really show her size, she is only to my knee and weights about 44 pounds...would be 35 if she wasn't fat....

I'd still say she has Lab in her. Maybe with a small breed mix. Maybe a smaller Aussie. (Do you like how I keep throwing Aussie out there?

)

I just looked up pictures of Lab mixes (Aussie and BC) and honestly I didn't see any that resembled Casey. So now I'm stumped.

Still searching and I found a dog that looks similar to Casey and it is listed as a Border Collie/ Jack Russell mix. Hmmmm.....I still think Casey is more Lab. So now I'm thinking maybe Lab/JRT mix??? Especially given her size.

She looks just like this...

I'd go with Border Collie/Lab. I've always thought she looked like a Swiss Mountain Dog.

The insurance company is one of the reasons, years ago, we didn't get a GSD, as we wanted. We had a Shepherd/Collie when we moved here and the insurnace company hasn't asked since. I told them he was a Collie mix. But look what we ended up with! Lacey, maybe Shepherd/Rottie?, Layla, Shepherd/Lab, looks more like Shepherd/Wolf.

At least Jake is smaller.

She reminds me of a greater swiss mountain dog in a way. She is gorgeous. For breeds though I would say she has some lab in her somewhere and possibly rottweiler? I would list her as a lab/border collie mix though or lab/australian shepherd for your insurance company. What is she listed as at your vet? Not that they would check, but you never know.

I had a beagle/German shepherd mix growing up. He looked a lot like Casey. I guess I'm the only one who sees a beagle/shepherd. And I agree with the others, just tell the insurance company she's a lab mix to avoid any problems (or an Entlebucher....that would work, too

)

She's adorable and reminds me so much of my beloved childhood dog, Keefer.
