This is my mutt/"kid" Callie. I say kid because she requires a lot of time & work...like most dogs(yes it's just a joke - relating a dog to a kid). Anyway, my sister found her in a park in Memphis with a note on her saying: "my owner doesn't want me anymore. take me in before i get hit & killed by a car. " I ended up taking her. She's about 3.5-4yrs old now, and she is such a great dog. She gets along with our 3 cats. They even play (gently)! Very smart etc. She definitely has the herding instinct. It's been quite apparent over the years.

I've heard a few things as to her breed, but the only one I can pretty much pick out is a Red Heeler. I know there's no positive way of knowing w/o doing a blood test, but I thought I'd try & get some suggestion from you smart folks

Here are some images:

I think she looks like an Australian Cattle Dog cross too.

That dog is definitely (I am so bold and full of myself) mostly cattle dog, if not all cattle dog and just poorly bred. Here, have a cattle dog.

That's a beautiful dog. She's what dogs would look like if left to their own devices - if they were allowed to go feral (which I'm not suggesting as a good idea.)

I have no idea, though. I've always had floppy-eared hounds and labs.

We have a couple of foo dogs that guard our yard. Maybe she's a foo dog.

im gonna join the wagon and say cattle dog. She is a beaut! sad that the owners did that, its nice she has a good home though. kudo points to you for taking her in

She could pass as pure bred cattle dog easily.

Very Pretty Dog! I love the pic in the chair with the cat!

I can't believe her previous owner would do something like that. Good thing you took her in and she's very pretty. I see Cattle Dog/Basenji in her.

Thanks for the words everyone! I am pretty confident in what you all said - cattle dog looks pretty spot on to me too.


Thanks again

Btw, they are GREAT Frisbee dogs. she absolutely loves it.

She is STUNNING!

I see Cattle Dog and possibly Basenji, also.

She is extremely beautiful. I'd nab her in a second.

Looks like Red Heeler (Cattle Dog) to me as well. She's purdy
