    Malinois/Collie mix?

    P1040532.JPG P1040545.JPG Hi,
    We recently adopted Abby, photo attached, from the local SPCA. She is 5 years old and weighs 72 pounds. They listed her as a shepherd/collie mix. We think she is more specifically a Malinois/Smooth Collie mix.
    Any thoughts? She is extremely well behaved and very affectionate.
    Thanks.

    Hi, welcome :)

    Maybe a bit of GSD thrown in too?

    Lovely looking dog!

    It's always hard to say. She has the Collie type head & muzzle.

    Here's a better head shot of her. Her right ear sits a bit lower than the left when they flop down. She is really a nice girl, very affectionate, apparently was well trained, except for constant barking when she decides she wants to play fetch, which is about twice a day for about 15 minutes each session. Also does not like Dog food but loves people food of almost any kind.

    Azz, Malka and Janet like this.
    We have had her for 3 months as of today, and love her dearly.

    June 26, 2013 026.JPG March-April 2013 217.JPG She looks so much like our Sadie. We know Sadie is Belgian Malinois and Collie mix. She is the best dog that you could have. Incredibly intelligent and pretty, too:) Our Sadie is 8 years old.

    the face is very similar to my first rough collie. and yet again, the mali is there. But i was so reminded of my rough collie, it gave me a jolt. He's long since passed away at 15yrs.
    nice dog.
