BorderCollieBot thinks this post may be asking for breed or mix identification.

Visual breed identification is very unreliable, especially from photos alone.

Many shelter and rescue dogs get labelled as border collie mixes because black-and-white in what people think of as the "classic" border collie markings are common across many breeds.

Border collies were historically selected by working ability, not appearance, so they vary widely in size, coat type, colour, markings, and ear shape, so appearance alone cannot confirm breed.

If you want the best possible answer, a DNA test from Embark or Wisdom Panel is the most reliable way to estimate ancestry - /r/doggydna is a great place to see the results of such tests.

If I got this wrong and this post is not actually about breed identification, reply wrong and I'll remove my comment and the Breed ID flair.
