What is Bella?

katt223 · Jun 4, 2007

We've been told Lab/GermanShep/AustralianShep/BordieCol/Beagle/Bernese by those who have seen her and know dogs...
Waht do you think? She's about 60 pounds.

I don't know what she is but whatever it is she is simply gorgeous.

Maybe Border Collie mixed with Australian Shepherd, although Border Collies do come in smooth coats.

katt223 · Jun 4, 2007

her coat is absolutley smooth, soft and shiny.. but she sheads like mad.

I see Aussie, but mayber some Greater Swiss Mountain dog as well...? GSMD's have a short smooth coat.

she just looks like a tri-colour border collie to me

Same here. She is mostly tri-BC.

Your Bella could be a twin to my former foster Roadie. Roadie's mom was a boxer and his dad was extremely questionable. I swear if Bella was a male I would be wondering if you had my boy!

I see more Smooth Collie than Border Collie, considering the size. Swissies tend to be pretty rare but she does remind me of one...

Hmmm...let's see...what breed...what breed...GORGEOUS!!!

Gorgeous it is.

Sush · Jun 5, 2007

Lab...no, GSD...no, Aussie...possibly, border collie...quite possibly, beagle...no, bernese...no but she does have that coloring. GSM is definately a possibility. She probably has three or more breeds in her. I'm leaning toward the aussie/border/GSM.

I see more of Smooth Collie mixed with Aussie too. She's really to big to be a BC.

Baxter'smybaby · Jun 5, 2007

looks like a dog to me

--seriously, she has moutain dog markings and coat type--

noludoru · Jun 6, 2007

Kat, she reminds me of a BC--definitely. The only thing I see Swissy is her coloring, but I'm not terribly failiar with the breed.

Can you pose her for some stacked (standing) pictures? And a couple of larger head-shots? That would help exponentially.

ktutorials · Jun 6, 2007

yeah my friend had one like this cuty... he said its a Cross breed of Australian Shepherd..

But anyway eager to know the real one...

katt223 · Jun 6, 2007

I can post more pics later today, I'm at work right now and the only pics I have on my pc here are the ones I've posted already. Also, I have tons on my camera still but I've miss placed my USB cable... grrrrrr. gotta get a new one this weekend!

drmom777 · Jun 6, 2007

I would call that a variety called "darn good looking dog." She is quite lovely, and looks like she knows it!

katt223 · Jun 8, 2007

here are more pics of Bella, hope this helps!

katt223 · Jun 8, 2007

oh and my fav

Romy · Jun 8, 2007

I don't see any smooth collie whatsoever, in her build or her head. She looks mostly like a border collie or aussie, something along those lines.

Beautiful dog!
