What dog breed is he?

Some kind of lab/border collie mix. He's really cute and lucky to take him in! Ask the vet what breed he could be when you take him for a check up.

In my journey, the dogs breeds that are the least in all probability to enhance human aggression themes are the Pug, Beagle, English Bulldog, and Boston Terrier. i haven't rather seen an occasion of any of those breeds that i might say had a extreme aggression project, regardless of the undeniable fact that I even have met a sort of apprehensive Beagles. nicely-bred Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Pit Bulls, and Greyhounds could be nicely suited up there to boot. on the different hand are the breeds that are maximum in all probability to be aggressive. I even have never had a delightful journey with a Yorkie. in fact, of the 50 or so Yorkies that I even have encountered, i might say all 50 had some style of aggression project. Chow Chows, Akitas, and Chihuahuas are nicely suited up there to boot. yet, i might say that the main aggressive dogs breeds are the numerous breeds of Terrier from Scotland, the Scottish Terrier, West Highland White Terrier, Cairn Terrier, Dandie Dinmont Terrier, and Skye Terrier. Scotties and Westies specifically are very bitey canines.

Maybe a Catahoula Leopard Dog mixed with Border Collie?

I think a cross

Blue merle collie .( the eyes are blue and often a wall eye}

with poss mongrel?

looks young 4yrs?

but a vet will be accurate look at the teeth.

probably around full height now.

All of this is just a guess from a few photos so don't take my word for it.

anyway you have a beautiful dog.

Looks like an Australian Cattle Dog to me probably mixed with something else. Check out the links below:

Looks like an Aussie/Hound mix to me.. The colors and the eyes scream Aussie (Australian Shepherd) and his ears and body look like some kind of Hound.

He looks like he might actually already be full grown and maybe around a year to two years.

Looks like an Australian Shepherd / Lab mix if that is indeed what this dog on the top of this page is. It looks just like yours! http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/sheprador.htm

My neighbor has a dog JUST like that!!!! he said it was a border collie mixed with something but his wife said it wasnt even a mixed dog..so i dont know? but i have a german shepherd, Stunna, and our dogs LOVE to play together...and he shouldnt be that much smaller..Lily, my neighbors do, is hardly smaller then Stunna

Looks like an Australian Shepherd mix to me - he shouldn't get any bigger than your shepherd, if that big.

He's beautiful, lovely color coat. I'm glad you took him in, poor guy needed someone to care for him - what heartless previous owners, that's just nasty and irresponsible.

i guess an australian shepherd mix. He's probably 2 or 3 years old...i don't think he'll get any bigger than he is now.
