Question Can You Guess What She Is?

This is my parents 10 month old puppy. She's an "oops" that ended up being placed through an adoption program.

She's a cross between two full blooded dogs of different breeds.

My parents are very happy with her! Im not a dog person but even Ill admit she's a very nice pup (though she has destroyed about $200 worth of my stuff in the past 6 months or so) . She's been great with the horses, peafowl, pigs, etc. She's not too loud, protects the farm, is friendly/safe with kids and adults alike, etc.

She looks like a sheltie cross to me. She has that long narrow face.

She is a cutie though, I can see why your parents liked her.

She must have collie in there, but could be a rough collie, looks like there could be a touch of Borzoi

I'm definately gonna guess a collie cross. I'm sort of leaning with Horse Poor or CrookedBlaze.

Pretty, either way!

Sorry everyone, I got distracted for a bit. It doesnt take much.

She's the only C/GP Iv ever seen/heard of. Not exactly a cross one would normally go for, but it worked for her!

She was pretty dinky when she was brought to their attention. This was the photo the adoption woman sent them.

Woo hoo - I was sure that was it! My boyfriend teases me because I know tonnes and tonnes of dog breeds (mainly large ones) that so many people haven't even heard of, and can often guess crosses. My "special" talent

She's gorgeous, I love her! I can see why they couldn't resist her ! Hope she outgrows the puppy destructivenes stage fairly quickly, and becomes one of the best dogs you've ever had

Cool! She is beautiful!!
I had a Chow/ Great Dane cross before. He looked exactly like a short haired Akita!!
You never can tell about those odd sounding mixes!

What a cutie...and will be a great companion with her mix. I love Collie's and I can't see her be anything but sweet and intelligent.

I'd say she's either shepard collie mix but with closer look she looks like she may have Irish wolf hound in there with her build, size, leg length and eye shape and positioning and collie with her head shape, long nose, colouring, and coat
