You wouldn't believe the comments I get about what kind of dog I have when I take Dallas for a walk. She is obviously a mutt but strong on the Austrailian Cattle Dog genes, probably has some Husky thrown in (according to the vet).
My brother (and many others) say she looks like a coyote. I have gotten comments about her being a wolf
and one person even asked me if she was a Dingo. People see what they want to see I guess. It is sad about this poor dog being released.
