New Mom Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 That's not how we referred to him! :lol:/> But in Linc's defense, he did grow into a quite handsome dog. J. I noticed you are in NC. I'm in NC also! I love the pics of your doggies!! I hope Max's DNA test tells us what we want to hear!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghaven Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 so do any of you see any possible border collie characteristics or just chow mixed with something? Nearly every BC mix I have seen, particularly ones that have one full BC parent, have either the characteristic white tip on the tail, white on their chest, or a white foot or two mixed in. It's hard to tell from the pics, but it dosesn't appear as though your boy has any of those characteristics. I wouldn't say that rules BC out, but I would be very skeptcial that the mother was a full BC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachdogz Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Thanks! He is a cutie. He's very lovable and learning his commands pretty quickly. He's a wonderful pup! so do any of you see any possible border collie characteristics or just chow mixed with something? "Cutie" + "Lovable" + "Learning his commands pretty quickly" + "Wonderful" = Border Collie...at least in my book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it...everything thing else is solid black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliepoudrier Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I'm up near Oxford (NE of Durham). There are lots of border collie folks in the triad, though. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 And maybe you should read this thread about a recent DNA test on a dog that looks to be purebred border collie. It'll be good for a laugh if nothing else. You might want to save your money.... J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
