Hi, here is are some photos of my Browny:






People tell me she looks like she has Border Collie in her. I think she might be a Border Collie mix. She definitely has the Border Collie personality.

What do you think?

Difficult to be sure without seeing her whole body shape next to a BC, but she just looks like a red BC. They come in assorted sizes, coat length, ear style etc - go for the Border Collie specialities like agility and flyball, she looks the sort of dog who would really love them

My first border collie was a BC/Springer Spaniel mix. He was the dog that made me trust dogs again (had a fear & a bite as a kid). Not only that, I fell in love with dogs and ended up volunteering at humane societies and BC breed rescue long after he passed away.

Here are two pictures of my George:

robbiebee says:

George looks lovely - that's a nice cross, my son had a similar cross.
Browny certainly looks to be all BC - not sure how you got the pics in the posting though - I'll add pics of my 3 BCs and saluki x possible BC if I find out - they are in a set in my photos.

I think the group loves all of our animals as long as there is some BC in the breed. Has anybody started a BC mix group?

All my Border Collies are pure but they will never be AKC. But who cares if they are mixed because that is the heratige of the Border Collie

Please have a look at the pictures of my red Border Collie , Charlie on Flickr and you will see a definite resemblance! Charlie is a registered Border Collie with the Kennel Club and is a red tri. He was bred in Snowdonia.

We have a BC mix. We resuced Cosmo (Mo) from the animal shelter. He was 8 weeks old and turned in as a stray. I knew from his markings he had BC in his bloodline. The shelter said he was a BC/Springer mix. He is a very loved dog, especially by my daughter/10 and son/2. He is wonderful with the 2 year old(Mo is 3 1/2). I was worried about how he would be with my son, but he has been great. I have an awesome B/W photo I took of him I will upload and post tomorrow.

Harley is part border collie and part something. My guess is probably some kind of hound or pointer or something. He is a sweet heart who is a little goofy, a little silly and a lot playful. Sometimes he howles when I leave him alone in the front yard. Any guesses on his mix?

We know our Abe Jackson is a border collie mix. I think he's a bit springer spaniel. Whatever he is he LOVES to swim, run in circles and very smart!

Glad you welcome mutts to the group! My Zorro is a Collie/Border Collie mix; he doesn't have the intensity of a pure BC, but he sure has the brains. We adopted Zorro from the shelter - if you love the BC breed please go to the shelter. There are lots of purebred and mixes to be found, and black dogs are extremely difficult to adopt out. Don't ask me why - I have a great one!

Ok - stupid question - how do you get pics on the discussion boards?

Kitty Wheeler    says:

Hi, I'm sure that all collie mixes etc are welcomed here. My two are short coated collies with a hunterway in their line (a grandparent I think), they aren't pedigree so they are registered as working sheep dogs with the kennel club, (like a lot of collie types who compete in agility here in the uk.)

Chaos (below), is a registered pedigree red/tri border collie.

Craig Zacker says:

This is Snow, our Deaf princess, was told by the Kennel she was 100% Aussie but,m she looks more like either a BC or BC / Aussie mix. She definetly has the BC body and fur... and she is the softest dog i have ever felt, like petting a cloud.

We were told our dog is part border collie (and likely part black lab). She's mostly black with a few tiny tufts of white hair on her chest, right near her collar. What think you?

I had a border collie/jack russell mix who passed away this passed Saturday (12/20/08). We've had her since she was 9 weeks old. Her name is Bella and and we miss her terribly!!! She was such a good, good dog!!!!! Very smart and very playful and loving. Bella brought this family so much joy for the past 3 years and we are still grieving over our Beloved Bella.

Here's my BC mixed with something short-haired (any ideas?). He's 5 months old and whatever he's mixed with helps tame the BC-puppy craziness.

I just joined this group - we have what we think is a BC mix, she's 11 this year, I can't believe it's been that long!

arctic.troy    says:

This is Echo. She is a mix obviously. I believe part black lab, which is nice for the shorter hair. She has the full character and attitude though, as you may be able to guess from this image:

shanninen says:

I have a lab mix dog that my vet finally thinks has some border collie in her. She nips the heels of my older dog in play, stalks the cat, is REALLY smart has white on her toes and white through her tail like its frosted from the hair dressers. She likes to lay flat on her belly with paws forward and then zooms toward you. Here is her picture:

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/shanninen/3315673731/]

Suzanne

Her name is Katie. When I adopted her from the pound, the sign on her cage said she was Lab/springer mix, but the dogs I've seen of that mix do not have the long hair and feathering of the tail that she has.

Thanks

We have a border collie x huskie, we got her from a rescue shelter in September 2007 where she was placed with her brother (who was more samyod than border collie)and unfortunetly nobody wanted her.She is a bundle of joy and energy and every morning is like christmas morning when she pounces on the bed to wake us up, such excitement every single time.She has all the BC traits, markings, speed, intelligence but her fur, tail and strength is that of a huskie, a fantastic cross I reckon. When I figure out how to work this I'll post some pictures of her, her name is Leila.

Ava is my Border Collie/retriever mix. Don't know what kind of retriever. The vet says golden, but I think lab because of her short fur, plus her mom looked more like a lab mix. She has a herding instinct. :)

CKJCreations    says:

Bella is a Border Collie/Spaniel (not sure what type) mix. When I adopted her (she was approx 6 weeks old) , they said she was a Lhasa mix..... Turns out, she was just a runt, but love and a good home quickly prooved that to be incorrect. :-) I had never owned a Border Collie before, but I wouldn't trade her for the world!!! :-)

Our Braxton is part BC and part Springer Spaniel and is the most loyal, loving dog. He was 1.5 years old when we got him from the shelter. I can't think of a better companion than he is.

I have a dog named Charlie who looks almost exactly like Braxton (mentioned above). We always knew he was some sort of mix with an English Springer Spaniel, and I have never known what the other breed is. I happened to stumble upon this discussion with a google search, and I am almost certain he is a mix with a Border Collie. I will post a pic as soon as I can get him to sit still ;)

RiniGrandViper says:

This is my new border collie mix puppy I adopted from the shelter, Snow Plow. He's just about 3 months old, so it's hard to tell what he's mixed with. People have mentioned bull terrier (yuck) jack russell, and white german shepherd. He's 15/20 pounds at 3 months. Here's some pictures. He has a naturally short tail. I can feel the vertebrae at the end. I have no idea what his other half is, so any suggestions would definitely be appreciated.

Hi I am new here... we are looking to buy a border collie or mixed border collie.

Can you guys look at this picture and tell me what you think the other part of the mix is??

We don't want a rot and I think I may see the markings... but the body is nothing like a rot. And her sister doesn't have any of those markings.

What do you guys think??

I'm hoping this link works.

This is our dog, Haeley. We adopted her from a shelter in Rockville, MD in early 1998. She was around a year old.

We think she's a border collie mix and have seen photos of blonde border collies that really remind us of her.

She's very people-oriented, super smart and loves to have "jobs" to do.

The headshot is of her at 9 years old and the one of her in the car is of her at 12. She's 13.5 now and starting to show her age. We adore her!

muttlover1 says:

I'm so glad to have found this thread. I also adopted from a shelter using the petfinder.com website. When I saw Ashley's picture and read her story it broke my heart. She was dumped, half starved, adopted for a year and then returned. What a way to start out in life! I was told that she is English Pointer and Border Collie. What ever she is, it's a great mix.

flygirl_7eca says:

I have a BC cross (mom was a BC/lab, dad was a tn walker/springer spaniel mix). She was a shelter pup and her entire litter was there. She has short hair, and the best personality I've seen in a dog. She is 4.5 months old now and about 28 lbs. The pics in the link below were right after we brought her home.

This is Terra....we lost her almost exactly two years ago. We found her at a local shelter when she was just a puppy. She was absolutely the smartest dog my husband and I had ever come across; it was like having a small child living with us -- she had such a big "vocabulary" and understanding.



And this is Tippi. Her mom is a border collie and her dad is a black lab; she came from a farm owned by a friend of my husband's. She is pretty darn smart too! She'll be two in Jan.2011.

wcal2012 says:

This is Breac (gailec for "spotted" or ...) He's a one year old BC German Short hair pointer mix.

Super smart, very energetic and thinks he's lap dog. I highly recommend the mix, although he can be very protective of his food an will get that look in his eye like he's ready to bite. He'll also "sheep" you with that same look.

Good dog, loves his frisbee, and is fun to train. Good to go!
