4. Chaser is a Border Collie.

People often think she's an Aussie because she isn't the traditional black and white dog we think of as a BC, but they also come in a wide range of colors and textures. My BC is sable and white, like a Lassie type collie. Also, Aussies usually have docked tails because that's the breed standard for them. Aussies are super smart, too, but Border Collies hold the title of smartest dog. They can be scary smart. I've read that they are typically as smart as a 3 yr. old, and if mine is anything to judge by, that's the truth!

7. Agree...

The 'other breed' that I couldn't think of when I posted that. One of my all time favorite dogs was a Border Collie/AusShep mix, she was copper red and white, her name was Jenny Penny. She was really cool, told us when bears were around and was just a really cool being, lived to 18.5.

I love how she struggled and then got it RIGHT!
