It looks like Thres not much more to guess on Gizmo's breed so I'll just post what I may think she is. Even living with her confuses me a lot. I sometimes like to think she is karelian Bear Dog but that is a very rare breed and I dought someone would just abonden a puppy who is full bear dog. Vet said she looks like a northern breed so it could be possiable she has a smidge of bear dog in her, just look at her tail. Her coat is smooth yet thick and soft. She would defently not be for a first time dog owner, very smart yet stuborm and does not get along with other dogs well, just like a tipical bear dog.
Now for my secound guess and what I tell most people. When asked "what breed is she" I'll say she is a border collie. Once someone asked me "does your pit bull bit?" I told them Giz is a pur Boder Collie, they belived me. Not that I dont' like pitties, some people just assume any short haired dog is one. BC's are very common around the area I live so I go with this guess over any other. As for the ACD part of her, it's possiable if you look at her spoting on her white part of her coat. I've lived with a few but her behavor just doesn't seem to mach them. She does like hearding and seems to have some good hearding instincs in her. She can be snappy, common trate in hearders. I love the hearding group so if I had to pick a group to place here, thats where she would be.
Here is a pic of a karelian Bear Dog for thoes who have never seen one, colors look like a BC yet it's a seprate breed not at all related.

Now look at Gizzy's tail, could it be possiable?
