Hi, We recently adopted Abby, photo attached, from the local SPCA. She is 5 years old and weighs 72 pounds. They listed her as a shepherd/collie mix. We think she is more specifically a Malinois/Smooth Collie mix. Any thoughts? She is extremely well behaved and very affectionate. Thanks.
Beautiful looking dog.can't see much collie..maybe be in the behaviour.Belgium Shepard traits with the longer nose and shorter fur...have lots of fun with her!!!
Here's a better head shot of her. Her right ear sits a bit lower than the left when they flop down. She is really a nice girl, very affectionate, apparently was well trained, except for constant barking when she decides she wants to play fetch, which is about twice a day for about 15 minutes each session. Also does not like Dog food but loves people food of almost any kind.
She looks so much like our Sadie. We know Sadie is Belgian Malinois and Collie mix. She is the best dog that you could have. Incredibly intelligent and pretty, too Our Sadie is 8 years old.
the face is very similar to my first rough collie. and yet again, the mali is there. But i was so reminded of my rough collie, it gave me a jolt. He's long since passed away at 15yrs. nice dog.
