Any guesses on the breed? ID this breed/mix

The shelter said spaniel mix when I got her but now all I ever get from people is australian shepherd. Maybe some border collie too? what do you guys think? she did have a haircut a few months ago, so her hair is not full length in the pics

her as a puppy

Aussie shepherds don't have ticking in their coats like that, but its common in Border Collies. I can definitely see collie in her. She's beautiful!

Immediately thought of these

CollieX def, tons of collie, maybe touch of brittany spaniel

My idea also

Looks like Small Munsterlander to me! Lovely dog.

She's not an Aussie - Collie x probably. Lovely girl though

I don't think she's a Small Munsterlanader either, they only come in brown and white don't they?

Looks like some blue merle in there somewhere ?

defo a merle in there to get the ticking imo;-)
im copping out, collie x spaniel or collie x hpr of some sort;-)
gorgeous looking regardless!!

you has a collie or collie x
Tri colour, white factored, and ticked not merle
I have two small ones of that

Lovely looking

to get that 'ticking' there is usually a colour/merle gene in there.i used to have a 'ticked' girly like that she was a wsd her sire was a tri colour and her dam a blue merle which side did it come from??? lol.

The ticking is a different gene from merle!!!! Ticking affects the White Areas, Merle affects the Coloured areas!

cool!! thanks for that mish so was it her dad she got it from?
sorry,i dont mean to hijack the thread, its just interesting!;-)

Could be from Either or Both, Just got nothing to do with the merling Gene!

Linky to lots of Ticking!!!!

dunno if the link works cos i am on my phone but the bc museum is great for showing the differences in colours

ticking also comes in as the dog grows up while the merle pattern is right there at the start

collie x spaniel

shes lovely

I doubt she has any Munsterlander in her. They are a very unusual breed; more so in the USA then here.

I think Collie x Spaniel of some sort is a really good bet.

Thanks guys for the guesses and compliments! I saw a large musterlander in a book a long time ago and thought it looked a lot like her also. They aren't too common in the states though. I think the merle look on her front legs is only due to the haircut she had- it doesn't look like that normally

I haven't seen any ticked BC before (except pictures), but maybe thats just me. I know they exist though haha. Also her ears don't stand up like a BC either. Can they be down like hers?
