what breeds are mixed in my new dog?

Hi everyone, We just got our new girl today from the shelter. I toyed with the idea of a purebred but in the end made the right decision and stuck with the mixed breed. My last dog died at 11 and a half a few months ago and she was a great mutt.
Like alot of other people Im wondering if anyone has any guesses on what the mix is here. At the shelter they said she is 12 weeks old and maybe has some border collie in her. They were guessing so i was wondering what anyone thought. She seems long legged although her back legs almost look shaped like a GS. Shes very shy(just got home today) and gets along with the cat.
Her coat is black but with bronze highlights i guess. Also 3 of her feet are white with black spots. Also her coat seems slightly rough except on her head which to me looks like Australian Sherpherd or Newfoundlandish, although i think she is smaller than that. any guesses would be appreciated scott

Hm, she sure is gorgeous whatever she is... If I had to guess I'd vote Border Collie/GSD/maaaybe Lab. I say Lab because of the chocolate color in the coat and the size/placement of the ears, but I think a BC/GSD X could weild similar results anyway. Her coloring reminds of of Ron's Lab/Husky...that very dark chocolate tone with the black stripe down the back. I agree that something about her body/leg shape resembles a GSD quite a bit, and her fur length/tail shape/face looks a lot like BC.
