And You Thought Collies Were Clever

I thought at one point the film had been doctored because the dog at one point was absolutely frozen to the spot.

But having looked at it a few times I think it's gen.

I thought the dog was an australian cattle dog, but the blokes accents were american.

What breed was it?

ths an American Stock Dog mate, some are mixed breeds, some are registered, this one looks like an English Collie (from dogs taken over by English settlers in the 19thC ) but it could also be an American Farm Collie, which looks pretty much the same, like a border but bigger and will work all livestock, not just sheep. They've some crackin herding dogs over there, makes you wonder what kind of lucher they'd produce put to a gh. The Hairy Mouth Heeler would be my choice, multi purpose hunting\herding dog, nearly always working dogs, rarely pets, hard as nails, trainable, rough coat....perfect.

no its a kelpie x acd

Yeah you could be right bud, some do use aussie dogs out there, but the majority use there own American stock dog breeds. Google the two I suggested, you'll see what I mean.

Not could be i am right

suit yourself mate, no skin off.
