Looks a like there's a lot of terrier there to me. Or whatever combination results in something like a terrier.

If she has Border Collie it probably isn't a significant amount, Borders are highly energetic(whereas you said yours is very mellow) and their intelligence is primarily used for evil.

So it's been six months since we got Rico. He's a pretty great dog. We've got him in puppy classes and we've got him trained up pretty well. He keeps us on our toes but he's not destructive, doesn't have separation anxiety, and nice to have around.

I just took him out for our morning walk but we've had to begin using a gentle leader harness that goes around his nose so that we can stop him pulling on the leash. He's not a fan of it so far, but he'll get used to it. This morning's walk was the best walk we've had so far. No pulling, probably because he was so annoyed that he had a loop around his snoot.

Here's a picture!



Thanks for all the help folks! It was much appreciated!

once he knows he can get it off, he will keep trying
