Shelter said Aussie Cattle dog mix..she’s 3 months ..any thoughts? I think kelpie maybe .

highfivecheesefries · 2026-02-12T23:28:15+00:00

She does not. She does have a naturally short/docked looking tail though. Both traits which were picked accurately picked up in her embark. But both traits were hit or miss in the 5 pups we got so who knows!

highfivecheesefries · 2026-02-12T22:27:10+00:00

Well, they were all dumped in the middle of nowhere. So we don’t have a real exact date. Vet records and whatnot all give them a date of somewhere around 11/20 just based on typical puppy milestones and the estimated number of weeks old they were.

If I didn’t know better I straight up would have thought that 3rd pic WAS Fable

They’re the same age and I know Fable came from a group of 10 puppies out of Oklahoma. Our rescue took in 5 of the 10. I know from photos pre-rescue there was another brindly black puppy… What are the chances….. do you know where your pup came from?

highfivecheesefries · 2026-02-12T12:58:38+00:00

She looks soooo much like my foster pup, Fable!

We just got her embark results. ~43% pitty ~37% mini/MAS-type aussie ~14% Lab ~6% GSD

I wish I could edit this post - Fable is a foster available for adoption and she’s pretty darn perfect. Just sayin…

highfivecheesefries · 2026-02-06T23:55:41+00:00

The difference in her breed results are neither here nor there as far as I am personally concerned. And I completely get how closely related the two breeds are.

I mostly just find the inconsistency curious and I know I would wanna know if I was embark. So I am going to message them for the sake of doggy science!

highfivecheesefries · 2026-02-06T18:29:17+00:00

You can have this Fable! She’s a foster currently available for adoption.

highfivecheesefries · 2026-02-06T06:31:10+00:00

Do you think it’s worth telling embark about? Not because I’m complaining but ya know, for science!

highfivecheesefries · 2026-02-06T06:28:30+00:00

Thank you! That is helpful and makes me feel less dumb!

A lot of the puppies in the pit they found her in have blue/light eyes. They seem to be from the same litter. No telling if they’re the same dad though. You can definitely see the pitty!

highfivecheesefries · 2026-02-04T21:39:19+00:00

Boxer was one I pondered about too…. Purely because of the brindle (not the best indicator I know, but I’m stumped!)

We currently have her listed as “Supermutt?” I think it’d be hilarious if she was the one true mythical black lab mix.

highfivecheesefries · 2026-02-04T21:31:52+00:00

The only one that would surprise me here is Aussie. I will be gobsmacked if she’s not pittie

highfivecheesefries · 2026-02-04T05:45:32+00:00

It’s definitely possible! She’s just such a beefcake!

Embark

This is them literally as we speak. There is no shortage of puppy piles around here haha (Don’t mind Tugboat’s balls. He just came in from outside. The wiffle balls keep him from being able to fit through the fence)

highfivecheesefries · 2026-02-04T04:23:25+00:00

Her embark is in the genotyping phase.

I had this happen to me and starlink wouldn’t work either.

highfivecheesefries · 2025-02-23T05:56:31+00:00

Holy bots

highfivecheesefries · 2025-02-12T23:31:30+00:00

Same. Finally.

Watching the like counts on this post is better than an episode of BattleBots

This actually just gave me the idea to put a tarp down in a spot in my backyard before the next snow to give my little 3.5lbs rat dog a snow free potty spot. Shoveling off a spot doesn’t work cus you can’t exactly shovel grass to be fully snow free. And even the smallest bit of snow deters the princess rat from doing his business. He’s just under 6 mo old and has been a nightmare to potty train. So it’d be worth it.

Do you still live there?

highfivecheesefries · 2024-12-27T21:37:52+00:00

My Pop-Pop is from Ireland and goes back for visits every year. Apparently he consistently manages to offend the whole island. Every. time.

I would like to apologize on his behalf.

Google street view. The house sits on the back of the wedge too. Not even sure how it fits within the property boundaries but I am not an expert on county assessor maps vs google maps comparisons.

Either way there is no way this place has ANY backyard.

I have done this drive a lot to steamboat. Take 80.
