We are always curious of Mississippi’s origins. Sometimes I really see the Border Collie in her but sometimes I don’t. She a similar size and shape to a border collie but has much more prominent clavicles, she’s a little longer, and her frame just feels a little heavier. There is one border collie I see at the Brentwood park that really looks like her and they play and act the same, but we always wonder.
I came across this breed today. Could she be a Welsh Sheepdog? Who knows for sure, it’s fun to always be on the look out. We met someone last week with a dog uncannily similar to Mississippi and people had told him that maybe his dog was a Carolina dog. I don’t really see that as much. She does have silly ears but they are a bit floppier than a Carolina’s.
I’m going to keep on thinking she’s a Border Collie/Labrador mix, but it’s fun to wonder. One thing is for sure, she’s a herding breed as exhibited by yesterday’s herding of other dogs at the dog park. Bad girl.
