My old eyes see more border collie than Australian shepherd. But I am not an expert. As a young cowboy moons ago I had a roper friend who raised AS's and he prided himself on his dogs and stated that they contained a lot of dingo in them. I do recall they were tough as nails and handsome as all get up. The Kroos farm by the river on 99 works what appears to be a BC and man OH man can that dog cover ground and move them cattle. I've pulled over more than once to watch. Back in time I recall working dogs of that nature to fetch some serious moolah as they can accomplish what 2-3 cowboys can. And they don't *itch about pay or conditions.
