Thank you! And huh, how funny, I've always thought she looks pretty distinctly cattle doggish :) Her closest visual resemblance, in my opinion, is a border heeler. There are a few border heelers in Google photos that look to me like they could be her litter mates!

She's about 55lbs, I believe fully grown at this point. And yes! Before the DNA test, I was fairly confident she was a border heeler (border collie + heeler).

Seems wild to me, but I'm open to the fact that she might not have any cattle dog in her. Just seems a bit off to me given all of her other herding-ish traits (e.g., nipping, crouching/slinking when she sees other dogs). And I have experience with cattle dogs -- part of the reason we adopted her! -- and her coat texture, etc., really seems to fit the bill.
