Looks like a Rough Collie to me 
If my eyes are deceiving me and that's actually a small dog, then it's a Shetland Sheepdog.

Welcome to the forum! You'll find A LOT of helpful people here, including many who know more than I do. A couple of questions pop into my mind after reading your post, though: How did you narrow it down to these two? Are you just going by pictures? I'm asking because it seems a little odd to me that you know the picture but not the breed name. You may have used other criteria like temperament, shedding, exercise needs, etc. and I apologize if you did. You shouldn't put much emphasis on pictures, though.Hi thereee!
First of all I'm new to this forum, helloI've never had a dog so I was never interested in dog forums either,
But I'm willing to get a puppy, my first one. And I got my eyes caught on two types of dogs, but I can't seen to identify them!
One I already know, that was a Yorkshire Terrier (?), but what type of dog is this?:

And for dog knowers, which one would you recommand?
Thank you very much for replying so quickly you two!Welcome to the forum! You'll find A LOT of helpful people here, including many who know more than I do.

Well you have to decide what you do and what you don't want in a dog and in what areas are you willing to compromise, as no breed or dog is perfect.Thank you very much for replying so quickly you two!
And that was going to be my next step! I don't know much about dogs, I've only had cats and bunnies trough the years. But I've always dreamt of having a dog. So I really wouldn't know where to search first, so I wanted to -start- with pictures and eventually get all the information needed about the dog.
If the dog itself not looking at the picture was not what I was searching for i'd try something else!
It sounds a bit odd, i know, but atm pictures are all I have
So maybe you could help me out?
As ACM said, it could be either. I'd really try to discourage you from letting physical appearance play a big role, though. So long as you don't think the dog is ugly, what really matters is whether the temperament and needs of the dog match what you're looking for. When you get a dog whose temperament (affection, playfulness, energy level) is the right match for you, the dog's physical beauty will grow on you more an more each day.Thank you so, só much! You are really helpfull. I'm going to read trough those websites! But first I need to know what breed this exactly was!
Rough collie or Shetland sleepdog like mentioned before
