Not at all sure about this glorious beast, either the breeds or the gender. But I’m going to guess it’s a girl, and she definitely has some German shepherd traits and some Australian shepherd ones as well, so… close enough.

Amazing coloration. I’ve never seen a merle that had patches of red merle AND of blue merle, but wasn’t a brindle merle. How does that even work? What is this dog? I am fascinated!
This dog is gorgeous, whatever it is!!
