Nova Spudnick*image heavy*

About 7 months ago we got a 6 week old Border collie mix puppy. <br><br>She was Supposed to be a pure bred border collie puppy, and when she was a puppy she did look like one. Mom was on site, and she was definetly border collie, and we saw pics of "dad" but who knows if that was the real dad cause she is definitely not pure bred.<br><br>We think she is mixed with blue heeler because of the ticking. <br><br>I named her Nova, and my sister wanted to be apart of it and so named her last named Spudnick lol. Nova is now my sisters dog, because thats just who she bonded to. She is soo smart!<br><br>Here are some pics.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold"><span style="text-decoration:underline">Pics of puppy days</span></span><br><img src="http://i50.tinypic.com/2h54jnl.jpg"; alt="http://i50.tinypic.com/2h54jnl.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i48.tinypic.com/eap0ur.jpg"; alt="http://i48.tinypic.com/eap0ur.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2q185sl.jpg"; alt="http://i47.tinypic.com/2q185sl.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i50.tinypic.com/ezk1tg.jpg"; alt="http://i50.tinypic.com/ezk1tg.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i46.tinypic.com/2lsyutz.jpg"; alt="http://i46.tinypic.com/2lsyutz.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/30ah0zm.jpg"; alt="http://i47.tinypic.com/30ah0zm.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i45.tinypic.com/2pqj3n6.jpg"; alt="http://i45.tinypic.com/2pqj3n6.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i45.tinypic.com/s5en49.jpg"; alt="http://i45.tinypic.com/s5en49.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i50.tinypic.com/298if9.jpg"; alt="http://i50.tinypic.com/298if9.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i46.tinypic.com/301kkli.jpg"; alt="http://i46.tinypic.com/301kkli.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i48.tinypic.com/2d0cn6u.jpg"; alt="http://i48.tinypic.com/2d0cn6u.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i49.tinypic.com/2i6la91.jpg"; alt="http://i49.tinypic.com/2i6la91.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i50.tinypic.com/97mmth.jpg"; alt="http://i50.tinypic.com/97mmth.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/15hjdx.jpg"; alt="http://i47.tinypic.com/15hjdx.jpg"; class="bb-image" /> <br><img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2dvsp09.jpg"; alt="http://i47.tinypic.com/2dvsp09.jpg"; class="bb-image" /> -She loves to swim!<br><img src="http://i46.tinypic.com/29f7d6x.jpg"; alt="http://i46.tinypic.com/29f7d6x.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2e6h8a1.jpg"; alt="http://i47.tinypic.com/2e6h8a1.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i46.tinypic.com/n5stjl.jpg"; alt="http://i46.tinypic.com/n5stjl.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><br><br><br><img src="http://i49.tinypic.com/2ef6rgo.jpg"; alt="http://i49.tinypic.com/2ef6rgo.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><img src="http://i48.tinypic.com/10g9s84.jpg"; alt="http://i48.tinypic.com/10g9s84.jpg"; class="bb-image" /> -Nova and aspen playing<br><br><img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2qsm0s0.jpg"; alt="http://i47.tinypic.com/2qsm0s0.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><img src="http://i45.tinypic.com/msw2q.jpg"; alt="http://i45.tinypic.com/msw2q.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><img src="http://i50.tinypic.com/2ias785.jpg"; alt="http://i50.tinypic.com/2ias785.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><img src="http://i50.tinypic.com/a30fah.jpg"; alt="http://i50.tinypic.com/a30fah.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2gvprhl.jpg"; alt="http://i47.tinypic.com/2gvprhl.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><img src="http://i49.tinypic.com/3484s9l.jpg"; alt="http://i49.tinypic.com/3484s9l.jpg"; class="bb-image" />

  • Actually she does look like a full border to me. They do have smooth coated borders. And my border has freckles =)
  • I know they have the short haired border collies, she just has so much ticking, like a heeler everywere lol... but who knows she could be pure bred, i just don't know. im uploading puppy pics now.

  • When i got to pick out my border i had the choice between my classic colored guy and a guy that had a black face and a huge amount of ticking. They were both purebred. Of course your pup might not be. Just letting you know that ticking isnt a reason to completely ditch the idea that she might be pure border. =)
  • Its not just the ticking, theres just certain ways she looks that just don't look completely pure bred to me...Maybe its just cause shes not the avarage mainly black and white long haired border collie lol

  • That makes sense. My best friend has a short haired border and she doesnt look at all like my fuzzy border. But her dog acts more like a border collie than mine does! Angel likes chasing livestock and herding things while my border Nitro (from working stock) likes chasing birds and could care less about the four sheep i have.
  • Haha thats funny...Nova came from sheep herding/working parents. but we don't have a farm or anything but we think she would be amazing at it...She is so obedient and smart, its crazy..shes way smarter then Aspen! lol She also loves to jump on the tramp, and chases her tail on command its so cute! i will have to upload a video of her doing that.

  • (fyi i have a thoroughbred named Nova xD and a JRTerrier mix bwa ha ha) Definitally sounds like a border to me! Mine is SUPER smart and teaches himself tricks. He knows how to shake on command. He actually taught ME how to do it xD (as in he'd do it every time i snapped until i realized he was doing it on cue) The weird thing about my border is he's SUPER calm for his breed. He'd rather lounge around all day and just chill. Not to say he isnt active. He runs all over the place, he's just not super hyper like a lot of borders are
  • Lol ya thats kinda how Nova is she runs and runs and plays when you want her to but thankfully when she is inside she just sleeps (probably cause shes constantly played/exeercised with lol<br><br>And I update aspens pics to if your interested in looking <a href="http://virtualpups.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=77636"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">viewtopic.php?f=41&t=77636</a> pics on last page

  • Her ears look really big xD, looking at her tail too, I'm not sure about her being a purebred, she looks crossed to me from the pics I see, though! every breeder breeds for different things and some people like slim built dogs some like heavy built so who knows.<br><br>Shes a nice looking girl though.<br><br>What happen to your pittie cross? xD

  • We unfortunately were forced to rehome Ava because the landlord decided to make his duplex "pitbull free" -_- and that was like 3 months after he said we could have Ava (knowing she was a pitty mix) <br><br>I was devastated =( she was a great dog =/

  • She is such a cutie!
