We live in the Phoenix area, and as far as I know he's from around here. The people who were fostering him were a Shepherd rescue organization, they listed him as an Aussie. But since we got him, people always ask if he's BC, not Aussie! So I did some research and decided he does seem more BC.
As far as testing him, we haven't ever had him near sheep. He does like to go after the jackrabbits around here, though! He has not herded any kids, cars, etc. but he did round up all the mangoes and put them in a pile out in the backyard once. When he's happy, he wiggles his butt like crazy - totally unlike the Aussie we had, but then she also had a tail she could move.
He's very smart about lots of things, but stupid about others. He can't keep himself from chewing certain things (bananas and my scrapbooks) but most things he doesn't care about. He is also very much a velcro dog - he follows me EVERYWHERE in the house, and he's more attached to me than anyone else.
