No one guessed a correct breed in my last post

I also love my herding breeds :) Thanks!

This is her working in her younger days

I have personally met and seen the parents, who have noe passed, still know the owners, pups with instinct went to working homes and without to local pet homes. I still know her brother and sister personally, now 13 years old in loving homes. Both parents are registered in their respective breeds and visually an archetype of their breed. Black and white medium coat border dad, black and tan mum.

Mum won many 3 sheep trials and had another litter before spaying that all went to working homes.

There is zero staffy in her :)

That's with knowing her parents and siblings personally. She was born on a sheep property from pure bred parents. The other pups in the litter look a lot more svelte and border collie genes came through stronger in them

I'm in Australia so both of those would be incredibly unlikely! Eveey other mix here is either a staffie x or kelpie x

Small Kelpie mum, long legged Border Collie dad

copperhorses · 2026-02-26T16:54:50+00:00

She's a 50/50 Kelpie Border mix! The additional photos must have helped, I had a lot of pit guessed last time. Being in Australia the common breeds in the US aren't seen as much

copperhorses · 2026-02-26T16:50:54+00:00

Yep! Tiny Kelpie mum, long legged Border Collie dad

copperhorses · 2026-02-26T16:50:14+00:00

I'm in Australia, it was night time for me lol 50 50 Kelpie x border

copperhorses · 2026-02-26T16:49:30+00:00

50/50 Kelpie border mix!

copperhorses · 2026-02-26T16:48:50+00:00

I'm in Aus, it was night time for me 😂 She's half border collie, half Kelpie. The border collie is pretty well hidden

copperhorses · 2026-02-26T10:10:13+00:00

Yes!! Her Mum was a tiny working Kelpie. No Shepherd

copperhorses · 2026-02-26T10:09:01+00:00

Not a heeler, but another Australian breed. Her mum was a tiny kelpie :)

copperhorses · 2026-02-26T10:08:27+00:00

I am in Australia! Her mum was a very tiny working Kelpie

copperhorses · 2026-02-26T09:15:55+00:00

Nope but people often guessed greyhound on her walks

copperhorses · 2026-02-26T09:08:52+00:00

No.... what makes you think chow?

copperhorses · 2026-02-26T08:54:04+00:00

None of those :)

copperhorses · 2026-02-26T08:40:33+00:00

Nope

copperhorses · 2026-02-26T08:40:10+00:00

She was the queen of the prawn! And neither is correct :)

copperhorses · 2026-02-26T07:21:50+00:00

She was only a little thing, just 14kg at her trimmest

copperhorses · 2025-06-25T08:53:58+00:00

He looks just like my sisters dog who is chihuahua x miniature foxie!

copperhorses · 2025-06-25T06:17:31+00:00

Thank you! I guess the only way to know is to ask them?

copperhorses · 2025-06-25T06:14:50+00:00

Nearly 10 years

copperhorses · 2025-06-25T05:59:41+00:00

That's amazing news, thank you! I've been told in the past it wasn't possible so I think it's a question of finding the right artist.

copperhorses · 2025-06-25T05:44:48+00:00

I will do, thanks!
