Well, you know what I think, and I have the advantage of having seen a lot of her in person.
BC is pretty obvious, and so is beagle. Not from the pictures, but both of those struck me immediately the first time I met her. There's no sheltie in her. She's too damn-the-torpedoes for a sheltie and cares too little about her people to be an Aussie. She's got a BC "my way or the highway" attitude combined with the houndy "What's in it for me?" life motto.
I actually have strong leanings towards cocker being in the mix somehow also, or some other type of spaniel. It's possible the sire was a hound/spaniel mix and the dam a BC/hound mix, which often looks like a lab mix.
She works sheep exactly like a beagle. That is, pretty much not. [
] I forget, did we try her on ducks? I know we did Zippy.
