I found a puppy in my yard on September 13, 2008. His eyes weren't even open yet when I found him. He is 5 months old now and I'm still trying to figure out what all he might have in him. I weighed him yesterday and he is currently 46.8 lbs at 5 months old. He is black and white (mostly black with white on his face, belly, feet, and the tip of his tail). He has the cutest ears that stick up and fall over right at the tip which is really funny because when he is glancing up at you his ears fall completely open. Also, his tail is tightly curled. Any guesses? I have attached a couple pics.
oh the nose sticking in at the bottom of the one picture of me holding him? That is my 5 year old border collie mix. Ike is as big as she is already and the only thing they seem to have in common is the coloring.
possible some lab or hound in there?....I'm not the best at this....there are some collie/bc people on here maybe they would have a better eye...stick around they will pop in
there is definitely a good bit of BC in there....i'm trying to think of what els could be there to give him his size, but definitely BC....here's my pup, Titch (well he's a yr old now) and you can see the distinct similarities in the face/expression (he weighs 43# and is 20")....maybe something like Pyrenees or Kuvasz (altho the latter not real likely)
i still say BC w/ something else larger in him.....according to one of those, he's already at the weight of a full grown Bear Dog....and they are quite a rare breed, as well.....
Cute dog. You never know! I thought our dog Roy was mostly border collie (but he's 70 #!). However, DNA testing showed he is a total mutt. He is 30% dalmation, and then has DNA (less than 20%) for the following breeds: border collie, Great Dane, Bernese Mountain Dog, beagle.
yeah, i could see the Akita being a possibility.....or Mal (rather than Husky, b/c of size).....
as for the DNA aspect....i'd kinda take that w/ a grain of salt....i just don't think that they're all that accurate, yet, unless you go the high priced route, not the cheek swab.....and, even then, w/ the fact that it took different breeds to create these breeds of today.......
also, keep in mind that the BC can range from 25-65#.....
border collie mix. karelian bear dogs are very, very rare, and it is extremely unlikely that there'd be a karelian bear dog wandering around impregnating random strays.
Sorry, I couldn't find my post from a couple of months ago, but I was to put my dog down, but was having a hard time with it. (She's blind, deaf and demented? Well, I still am, but there are days that I am so much closer. I am no longer managing keeping her clean. She won't even let me cut...
Hello,
So we just got a new puppy and we are having some issues with getting him trained. He is a border collie so he is very high energy, we have another one at home as well so we do have experience with raising border collies. Our other dog did not give us nearly as many issues as this dog...
I have an energetic, loving, smart, semi obedient 7 month old pup that stays outside and I want to start bringing her inside when I'm home from work for a little cuddle time. Do any of you have training ideas? I have an elderly father that lives with me I don't keep her inside because I'm scared...

I have a 14 year old yorkie, rescued him over a week ago. Aside from his clingy behavior, he has had 3 accidents in the house. All took place shortly after I took him for a walk, he’s peed twice and left a deposit once. I was always under the impression that yorkies are smart but this one...
