Hey there, tricky question re: the breed of my dog!

[MichaelD]

I've been wondering for a while now, anyway, I just can't work out what breed of dog mine is.

I live in the UK if this is any help. Below are links to some pictures which I took.

I'd really love it if someone could let me know,

All the best,

Michael D

some sort of collie cross for definate, my best guess at the other half would probably be corgi (those ears are quite distinctive).
lovely little dog!

i'm pretty sure he has some corgi in him. He may possibly even have some shepherd in him it looks like.

Some kind of cattle dog?

I have looked at your pics a few times, heres my thoughts for what its worth, he has the ears of a corgi, the face of a chihuahua, the colors of both, but his body is too large for either, any of the larger breeds would have found it hard to mate,(not that it doesnt happen, just unlikely),
so his size, I have no idea, his fur is short and dense, so it wouldnt be malt, or shitzu, he has a white blaze across his back, one parent could even have been a xx mated to a xx somewhere.

face of a chihuahua? His face is exactly the shape of most of the working border collies i've met (check out the third pic on the list - that's a perfect border collie profile) - and he has typical collie markings. chihuahuas have much less nose than that and their face is much more "square". Collies can be short haired so as crazy_for_corgis has confirmed my suspicions on the corgi i would go for a 90% certain border collie/corgi cross. possibly with something else thrown in their for goos measure, those ears and that nose shape are really distinctive though.

For the life of me, I cannot see border collie, the fur is nothing like one, the chihuahua i see is the high forehead and coloring, not the eyes.
He could even have some jack russel, and the dense fur of the beagle, who knows, very cute dog and by the looks, very well loved!!!

Aside from the colouring, he looks almost exactly like a pup that was mostly chihuahua that used to be at the barn.

I see the corgi as well. I do not see the border collie at all though.

the fur is exactly like a short haired border collie - how you cant see the collie in that face as well is beyond me. As i said check out the third pic on the list. Am attempting to find a link.
