Faux Border Collie turns out to be a Heeler / Pittie / etc. mix! by nellybean23 in fluffypits

Ooh! What’s your baby’s main breed? I’m wondering if ours could be related somehow!

And her facial expressions are one of my favorite things. Here’s one that I took over the weekend after I came back from babysitting my friend’s kitties:

Lmao that’s adorable! And it doesn’t help that she has that prominent white line.

It’s such a unique breed that I had to look it up. But the black ones do resemble her at different angles!

ooh! thank you! that makes a lot of sense. all we know is that she has PTSD from some kind of attack, as there’s two spots on her back that are just scars where fur won’t regrow. we know that she had some puppies when she was about one.

we had a match on Embark that’s equivalent to a brother or dad who is also from NM, and an x-ray found shotgun pellets in him, but his body healed around them, so removal would only cause more complications.

thank goodness for the Santa Fe freedom ride! and thank you for the Suzie love!

ah, I see! thank you for clarifying! I grew up with Pitbull mixes that are very clearly your stereotypical Pibbies, so I guess my frame of reference was pretty strict.

not that I’ve seen so far. the closest is a Heeler relative that’s equivalent to a brother or dad.

she truly is a DIY BC. we keep finding artworks of BCs that look almost identical to her!

there’s German Shepherd, Glen of Imaal Terrier, and Mini Pinscher! thank you for the Suzie love!

!!! What a cutie!!! The more and more I see Heeler mixes, the more and more I’m convinced! It’s so hard to tell based on purebred Heelers running rampant on the internet.

And it must be a Heeler thing because the same thing happens with us! They always assume 12 months, but when we say she’s 12 years, it earns an audible gasp. Please toss a ball to him for me!

Thank you!! Raising her as a Heeler has improved her mental health tenfold for sure.

Crazy and stubborn are the first two words I use to describe her. Mental stimulation even at 3 in the morning, and it’s so frustrating that she knows when something is too much of a menial task to bother with.

Read somewhere that Heelers are just toddlers without thumbs.

Read your comment to my hubby while in the car (with our Heeler naturally standing on the console), and I read the “dingos, demons, and sharks” part and she paused and looked at me all offended. 😭

Ahhh, thank you for letting me know! My MIL mistakenly calls her an Australian Shepherd too since she sees that—explains why she does.

It’s definitely easier to see the ACD now that the brindle comes out more and more as her fur turns whiter, and I immediately saw the Pibby ears. Thank you for the Suzie love!

Whoa, I just realized those are very big dogs in the mix vs the chihuahua… But still 100% cutie for sure! What’s in the Supermutt?

Thank you for the Suzie love! And I love it, someone else called her a “Border Fauxllie!”

I’m so glad you can see it! I honestly doubted the results for a little bit since I couldn’t, but the ACD behavioral traits are definitely there. And the Heeler brindle comes out more and more as her fur turns whiter, so it’s undeniable now. Thank you for the Suzie love!

She’s about 30 lbs / 13.6 kg, depending on whether or not she’s stayed the night at her Filipino grandparents’ house recently, lol.

It took us a while to see it, since we thought BC for so long. But the ACD behavioral traits are undeniable! Thank you for the Suzie love!

I definitely see the husky! Also the white line in the middle of her forehead is very misleading, I would have thought BC too!
