What Breed is Roxy

[TulipRoxy]

Hey, this is my new rescue, Roxy. I got her from some people that kept her tied up all the time. She had never been on a walk, played with toys or gotten much attention at all. She has adjusted fabulously to living in an apartment with our other animals. Shes a sweet little dog, permenently wiggling and trying to lick you! I don't know what breed she is but my best guess is sheltie and husky. She's small, only 20 lbs. What do you think?

Congrats on rescueing her & giving such a sweetie a happy life.

I have no clue about her breed but forsure someone will give input

My first thought is Miniature Australian Shepherd....but a mix thereof and with a tail???

It is possible this is a purebred Sheltie. Shelties do come in a coat colour called Blue Merle which is what Roxy is, and the Merles often have blue eyes. As for the ears standing straight up that also happens often, they are not always tipped down.

I double she is pure sheltie. My other dog, Tulip is a sable merle sheltie. She doesn't have the coat texture or temperment of a sheltie. She's gregarious, and super social.But, one thing is for sure, shes a sweetie. We get stopped everywhere we go to ask what kind of dog she is!

[growler~GateKeeper]

well I said purebred not well bred

I think we need more pics from different angles to properly see
