Full collie?
Had a few people recently say Maggie doesn't look like a full collie, asking what she's crossed with etc, one of them being the vet!Just wondering what your thoughts are!
Small Video and 2 pictures..

I would say collies come in a variety of shapes and sizes and Maggie could easily be a full collie.If there was a cross maybe a working spaniel.
I wouldn't be too bothered if she was mine, she is lovely anyway

I have come to the conclusion that the majority of the general public do not know dog breeds! I would say Maggie is a Border, most likely from working stock. Working stock are bred for the job, not colours which I would say is why she isn't classically marked.

she has a very strong chase and herding instinct. Its funny watching her try to round up other dogs
