Australian Cattle Dog Mix or Carolina Dog mix? Which do you think she is?

My husband says Carolina Dog mix and I say ACD mix. But I am starting to lean more toward Carolina Dog mix. You see we are in the deep south and we have a lot of both Carolina Dogs running around and Australian Cattle Dogs running around. The Carolina Dogs actually still live peacefully near the Indian Villages that are still around here. Our dogs mom was a stray and she was put down before my dog and her sister got adopted actually she was put down and the two pups were scheduled to be euthanized the day they were pulled by the rescue.

They said mom was either full blooded or mostly Jack Russell Terrier….I agree mom had to have some wirey breed in her because my dogs sister had a wirey coat.

Anyways she stays between 22 and 26 pounds.

She is a beautiful girl (her pictures really don’t do her justice) Her temperment is more of the Carolina dog…..

She has brown eyes by the way but they reflect green

She has the coat of a Carolina dog, her temperment is that of a Carolina dog. Her ****** build, body, tail. She is just smaller. Carolina dogs are between 30 and 44 pounds.

And she has similar features to the ACD as well.

Here is her picture:

Here is a link to info on Carolina dogs and pictures

Anyways let me know what you think?

Its quite common here for dogs to be mixed with either Carolina Dog or Australian Cattle dog
Here is another photo

We are pretty sure its one or the other but we’ve seen so many Carolina dogs that look like her (she is just smaller but that makes since she is a mix)

Then again she resembles the ACD Red Heeler a lot too
Remember she is supposedly part Jack russell Terrier

    she looks like a chihuahua terrier mix. Her ears are classic chi and her face is a terrier shape.
    hope i helped!

    I’d say yellow lab and carolina yellow dog.

    If she were a cattle dog I think you’d see some kind of spots/tick pattern. Since she IS a mutt though its possible she has a little of both but if it were an ACD I’d expect her to be more red or blue and have some kind of spots to account for the typical ACD patterning.

    100% mutt/mongrel.
    there hasn’t been a purebred anything in that pedigree for a hundred generations….or,more likely….ever.

    She doesn’t look much at all like an ACD to me. I’ve never heard of a Carolina dog, but looking at the link you had in your question, she looks a lot like at least a mix of a Carolina dog.

    No way in God’s Green Earth that has anything like a ACD in it! I’ve never heard of a Carolina Dog, but you’re right, she does look very similar to the photos.

    As the other poster said, if there were any ACD you’d see some kind of merling or ticking.

    I like the personality of a australian cattle dog. They are so sweet.
