Yes, I thought her head wasn't as broad and square as Aussies tend to be. She's got a pointier nose, too. She's on the small side for either breed. She's only 35 lbs and is finer boned.
She's definitely got the BC stalk & stare, she crouches and stares down her buddy Tucker all the time. Then she'll lay down really still in the tall grass glaring at him, and then charge and tackle him.
There are some smaller, finer boned Aussies out there. Dizzy was only 38 pounds for the longest time. She'd flucuate between that and 42 in the winter. She just recently filled out and she's 4, gonna be 5 in November. Aussies have the stalk and stare too, I haven't seen it in Dizzy, but in working Aussies. Rio on the other hand, loves to watch Dizzy run ahead at the dog park and he'll stalk her, crouch down and stare at her and when she comes close he'll pounce.
Either way, she's got Aussie in her. I'd say both your dogs are Aussie/Boder Collie with a little something else in your male.
Liesje, that blue Border you took pictures of is pretty. What show was this at?
