Rengard
My dogs name is Trixey. She was rescued at the age of 4 weeks old. Her and her sister were abandoned. I have had her since 10/31/10. She will be one year old on 08/30/11. No one was certain of the breed. Let’s have some fun. Can anyone guess the breed? I would love some tips from someone who does know the breed on how best to train her.
See the following link for photos of Trixey:

Hints: She is not a very large dog and weighs about 70 pounds of solid muscle.She is sxtremely strong, and highly intelligent, and requires constant mental stimulation.
She is practically impossible to wear out, she is extremely fast and is impervious to cold or heat. Her coat has two layers.
Keep trying guys I know that sooner or later someone will guess it.

Labrador / Kelpie ? -- A reputable Dog Obedience School is the best bet for basic training of Trixie, now is the time to start while she is still young.

i think it may be a Dingo x -------- if not you win i give up. --( ps. - please don't tell me she is a pure bred dingo.)

She has all of the characteristics of being a pure bred Austrian Cattle Dog. She may have something else in her but only a DNA test would tell me that.
You were so damn close. Thanks for playing along I thought it was fun. I am going to post a photo of an Australian Cattle Dog so you can see the resemblance. They come in a lot of different colours.

Rengard are you sure you are not getting confused with the Australian Kelpie?
To me she looks like a Australian red cattle dog/staffordshire cross.
By the way get rid of the dry food it is fattening despite what you may hear to the contrary .
A good diet is raw bones, cooked vegetables with a stock cube to add interesting flavour. Use the low salt variety. Raw chicken wings and frames are good for chewing exercise.
Re training the first thing to remember is dogs are a pack animal and they love to be on good terms with the leader of the pack. So you are the pack leader and you give praise when she does what you want. Go overboard and really make a fuss of her.
The leader does not bite the misbehaving pack member but snarls at it so learn to snarl. A good forceful :NO" when she misbehaves will work wonders.
Whatever you do DO NOT HIT HER she may do as you want but she will resent you doing it and you want her to want to please you not obey you.
You have been blessed with a absolutely gorgeous friend who will bring you years of love and affection provided you treat her correctly.
I am not religious but I think God was someone misspelling Dog.
I have a border collie /Belgian shepherd therapy dog that visits a aged care facility and the more I see of people the more I love dogs.
