This is my beautiful border collie mix, Tequila! My parents adopted her from the humane society as a gift for me when I was seven years old. She is the only dog I've ever had; I truly grew up with this dog. She's smart, playful, and affectionate. Even at 11 years old, she's still up and at it, chasing squirrels, going for runs, and making 'forts' in the hedges in my yard! I'd love to find out what other breeds she's mixed with. Her ears are so unique--I've never seen any like them! I'm just wondering where they came from.
