LOL, I think it is because your dog is a rough coat/short coat border collie. People are too used to the long coated border collie. Someone once asked if my friend's german shepherd was a mix because he is a long haired shepherd. He is also friendly with strangers if my friend is with him and is relaxed. Otherwise, the dog will alarm bark if he doesn't know you or if he's seen you a lot of times would run at you and hump your leg. This dog is two faced because he will allow the neighbors to pet him if my friend is around but if not, he would hump the guy's leg like crazy if he goes up to him.

Oh yeah, the short coat definitely confuses people. He has a thick looking ruff in that photo, but he coat is actually really short and sleek. It's hard to get good pictures of him. I have to sneak them with my cell, because he thinks my DSLR is going to steal his soul or something.

Mick's friendly as long as I'm cool with the person. I used to rent an old farm house and the landlord ran his landscaping business off the property. The one worker was always real shady acting, and Mick basically always was lunging at the end of his chain (he prefers to spend his days outside) trying to kill the guy. The rest of the landscapers he made friends with and they'd come over and play with him on breaks. He just hated the creepy guy. I don't mind that in a dog.
