Came to the comments to find this info, she looked too small to be a Border Collie

The face definitely is wrong too for a pure Border Collie. But she's a very good girl regardless.

Thank you! The face for sure!

u/GuiltyEidolon 2d ago

Oh, yup, the article /u/tinaoe linked says it - a border collie-papillon mix.

That explains those insane ears. What a beautiful girl

No wonder I was immediately reminded of my Papillon when I saw her face!

u/mrs-monroe 2d ago

I knew those were papi eyes!

u/Wasabi_Filled_Gusher 2d ago

I thought her ears were different! Now her baby face makes sense haha

u/parvoqueen 2d ago

That was my first thought! My papsterina makes that exact same face when she's lasered in on something - usually pizza.

Two of the best breeds for Agility . . . She was born for this!!

Papi Chulo!

u/the_0rly_factor 1d ago

I see that now. At first I thought Sheltie mix.

Absolute papi face. I was thinking she was small, too.

u/CheeseDonutCat 2d ago

Yep. The face is too cute to be full border. She has those disney eyes and smaller snout. Borders have a pointier face.

u/animal9633 2d ago

Ah yeah, but she's super fast for such a little girl!

u/ShacklefordsRusty 2d ago

she was fucking zooooomin

u/EasyPanicButton 2d ago

yeah her face, I was like is that a border collie cause she looks like she got some pomeranian snout mixed in and those eyes just melt me.

u/isntaken 2d ago

u/klavin1 2d ago

Her ears are so good! very cute dog

u/Multifaceted-Simp 2d ago

Do you know what the face might be? My dog has a face just like this

u/GuiltyEidolon 1d ago

An article posted about the dog says she's border collie x papillion mix.

u/thejaggerman 1d ago

I was confused why my border collie looked so different

u/papillon-and-on 2d ago

She's a borderpap. Border-Collie + Papillon. Which explains the ears.

u/robsbob18 2d ago

Came in a more aerodynamic form

u/Born_Structure1182 2d ago

That’s what I was thinking. Thought maybe they were breeding miniatures ones now.

u/ptstampeder 2d ago

Yep, straight in here for this too.

u/jolsiphur 1d ago

She actually honestly looks about the same size as my Border Collie. Mine is only 50lbs and she's pretty small overall. She was definitely the runt of the litter and only got to 50lbs because she's in incredible shape and really muscular.

u/KenIgetNadult 1d ago

There are some pocket Border Collies that are small. I knew a sweet white and tan that was the same size. But that face, while adorbs, is not Border Collie.

u/Denaton_ 1d ago

I was thinking the same, either just an insanely good puppy or insanely good mixed breed.

u/flyraccoon 2d ago

A border collie doesn’t have to be pure border collie as long as they can heard they are recognized as full border collies

In working situations maybe, but the breed does have standards recognized by the American Kennel Club
