What kind of dog is Casey?

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.

I would say she's a good mix, all dog. If pressed I would say "She's got the coloring of a Swiss Mountain Dog or a tri-color Aussie (see http://DogoftheDay.com/archive/2008/March/13.html), the build of a Lab, but not the height, maybe she's a Beagle (to account for her shorter height)/Lab/Aussie mix.

Swissies are much, much bigger dogs, so I doubt that's in her mix, or Rottie, as she just doesn't have the height for either breed. Also, Rottie is on some breed watch lists, so I'd avoid that unless you were sure anyway.

Swiss Mountain Dog/Labrador Retriever... that's my best guess!

She's only knee height, where Swissies usually are about 23-27 inches at the shoulder, and Labs are also are about that height, so she's probably not a Swissie mix. Her face is also not as squarely built as a Swissie.

I had originally thought of a Swissie, until she told us how small she is.
I also thought of beagle, but her ears just aren't big enough. Then again, mixed with a lab....who knows?

I think she's got some beagle in her! She looks it a little in the face and her height could account for that if she is mixed with lab. Whatever she is, she's 100% adorable!!
