I’ve had my pup, Pepper Anne, for over 5 years, found her when she was around 1 and I always just assumed she was an Australian Cattle dog but after seeing a few at the dog park recently I’m not sure. I still think she has cattle dog in her but I think she is mixed with something else. Her head isn’t as squared as a cattle dog and she’s not as thick through the shoulder and chest area. Anyone care to take a guess?
A little big about her personality: She is very energetic, loves to fetch, herd, and run around, extremely intelligent, a tiny bit inquisitive, and a love bug.

I have no idea, but she is so cute! We are getting a dog after we move in about a month. We’ll probably just get a mutt from the humane society.

She looks like a Corgi, Catahoula, and Australian Sheppard all had a love child. And that would be Pepper Anne haha. She is a beautiful dog! And I love her unique name.
ETA: I say Corgi only because of her face

I would say that she looks like she definitely have some Blue Heeler in her.

I love the first picture. She’s like, ugh mom, another picture? I think she’s a mix of lots o’stuff. We rescued a dog this year and my mom had a DNA test run on her (crazy, yes) and she was at least 5 different breeds.

@MrsCoachBtoBee That makes sense because we have a Corgi too and their faces and heads look similiar.
@MrsCoachBtoBee DH and I have been considering getting one of the DNA tests just because we are curious to know what all she has in her.

She definitely has cattle dog in her. Who knows what else she’s mixed with. I’ve done the DNA test on 4 dogs and it’s really interesting to find out the results. She’s adorable, totally my kind of dog!

she looks pretty straight up cattle dog/blue heeler to me (and we’ve owned 3). At least, she’s half blue heeler. Maybe with an australian shephard or something?

Going to agree, she is a heeler. I have had several and they are smart smart great dogs.

@MrsDibs Herding dog momma here! The Australian Cattle Dog seems to be a given, but I see a lot of border collie in her, actually. I could definitely see a mix of the two. The shape of the face, the ears, even those super sensitive, smart eyes. The herding, fetching, intelligence and high energy all fit too. When she’s herding or waiting to fetch something, does she ever hunch down real low in that “border collie” stance? That’s a dead giveaway 🙂
Whatever she is, though, she sure is adorable!

How much are the DNA tests by the way? We have a rescue dog too that is a big fat mystery to us and we’d love to know what she is because people ask us all the time.
