Okay, well to put things in perspective here's my Border Collie, Mick...laying on the end table like a douchebag (that's what I get for clearing the clutter away). And here's a picture of him as a five-month-old pup (he's three now)... People usually ask if he's a heeler mix...or if I'm lucky, a Border Collie mix. But more than once somebody asked if he was a pit bull mix and once somebody looked at him, nodded and said, "That's a terrier mix" absolutely seriously.
