it is, and it does, look like a border collie.
you are probably thinking of the miniature collie. looks like a mini lassie. a true border collie is this dog. the mini lassie, well I don't know.

Border collies are great...I love watching them herd livestock. Simply amazing.

Border collie herding instinct, as well as their color, coat and size, varies from one extreme to another, but one thing is typically consistent: they always need something to do, something to obsess on. dont even get me started on the intelligence, I read of documented cases of a "vocabulary" (not spoken, of course, but "understood" of many hundred words/commands. they are simply amazing, and the result of breeding a dog for the best that it can be, not the best that it can look.

Hi Mopower,
We assume you are judging the look of the Border Collie by the international KC breed standard, which is an artificial concoction based on conformity to one particular type.
In fact the BC is a very diverse breed. The 'traditional' Black and White rough coated type is not the norm for the breed.
Dot has a long (and distinguished) pedigree and is very typical of the smooth coated tricolour popular as working dogs throughout the UK.
Pure Border Collie, through and through!

Dot is an amazing girl. We rescued our 3 yr. old boy (Vern) whom we renamed "Buddy" the day after we got him. Buddy is also, a truely amazing dog. He's 10 now, and is the love of our lives. He loves Thursdays because that's garbage (truck) day and he does a figure eight in our back yard for hours!
