thanks guys. he is doing well with the other 2 dogs and they play. and ya i have the humping issue the 2 males actually, maybe i have gay dogs lol. he is very loving and sweet just shy. and ya he does make izzy look like she is a minature toy sheltie instead a regular sheltie. im not used to a dog this big and he is well behaved except he can be hyper, but i gotta watch food now on the stove, not that i have cooked since he has been her but he could jump up and grab food out of the frying pan he is that tall. he is so beautiful. i do plan on keeping him unless something goes totally haywire. when i get his rabies shot and get him registered im gonna see what the vet says. i know sheltie behavior, i guess i should look up collie behavior too. i get mixed comments on collie or sheltie. never heard aussie before, but they are goregous dogs too. i know he has some seriously thick tail fur. maybe ill try to get some more photos of his tail. instincts tell me he is a collie. but i guess on the good part, he has this low deep big dog bark. it would scare someone off hehe!
questions about new rescue, sheltie or collie?

How prominant is his "step" for his nose. I don't know much about collies, but I do remember something like collies there isn't really a prominant "step" from the head to the nose, where with Shelties they have one.
Darn...pics won't open for me on my work computer. I'll have to try again from home. My parents first sheltie was actually bigger than my (albeit on the small side) collieAnd yes, he was all sheltie, just happened to be the big bruiser of his litter
arent you on my fAcebook?? i have tons of pics up on there of him.
that im not sure about, i know he has a very long snout. i THINK i know what you are talking about? i ran my finger down charlies head and snout and there is no drop? jake i felt a drop slightly. does that make sense. ya i think this is a collie.
he is pooping in the basement, everywhere and all over my clothes i have on the floor for laundry. (ya that'll teach me to leave laundry to do) im so gonna need some tips here. i was told he was a sheltie and housebroken, um well i dont think any of the above are true. so know i got SUPER turds all over the basement. and i got to get a huge crate for him if im going to go that route. wonder if he is actually 10 or 11 months like she said.
but ya, i think he lost his home because he pooped all over everything. well i guess this will take my mind off of my friend that was murdered. i got half a hourse size dog here to try to train wish me luck.
