Cross Breeds

What breed of dog do you think this is (pictures)?

Ok so my dog is definitely a mix but I'm not sure of what. It is definitely a herding dog because it try to heard people, other dogs, cats and cars and probably a Terrier. Here's a few pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/64904270@N06/?saved=1 I know they're not the best of pictures you if you need to, request more and I'll try to get some better ones. About her: We got her a little over a year ago so that I can have my own, personal dog (I'm her owner and I'm 13) and to be a play companion to a puppy we got about 4 months before. We found her on petfinder.com in this beautiful rescue. Her name was Belle. She was in this rescue for about 6 months and they turned down applications before ours. They figured that she was 6 months when she was dropped off at the rescue because she grew alot. So she was a year when we got her. Now, she's been with us for over a year. She is best friends with our dog we got her to be a playmate for (now a 2 yr. old cairn terrier/ poodle mix) and she also gets along with our 12 year old lab. She does ok with our Siamese cat but sometimes wants to play or heard her. But I don't risk getting my guinea pigs out around her because we think she's part terrier. She loves to go riding in the car. In fact, we just took her on vacation to Tennessee for a week which was a 7 hr. drive and she was "co-pilot" the whole time. She needs alot of exercise and attention to keep her busy. We take her on at least one half hour walk, let Her play in the yard for an hour and take her on a good ride everyday. I believe she's smart but stubborn. She knows sit, lie down, roll over, stay, come and jump. She learned those well but we can't teach much else like high-5 like our other dogs. She was hard to potty train at first though. But sometimes if we leave her at the house she poops but we think it's a separation/anxiety issue. We are also teaching her agility which she loves and is good at because she can jump high. She can sometimes be grumpy if you try to pick her up so I'm not sure how she would be with smaller childern but if she sees one when we are out walking she gets all excited and wags her tail and gives them alot of kisses on their hands. She doesn't bite or anything though. But she isTerritoriall sometimes andguardss me. She is a good watch dog and will give a warning bark if someone or something is in our yard but if you tell her ok she usually stops. She lovesCompanyy but will bark at them too, until you tell her ok and she smells them and checks them out. Her looks: She has thick, wirey fur that is water proof because she swims and dries easily. It is mostly black with some brownish-redish hair on her face, legs and underside of tail. Her hair also has a few grey and white in it were the black is. She is a small dog. She's short but long like a corgi and weighs about 20 lbs. Any guesses on what breeds she is? Some people say corgi, welsh terrier and jack russel. Some people even think she looks like a little German sheppard lol. I don't think she's a yorkie like alot are saying. She's is not toy...I think the pictures are making her seem much smaller...I'll try to upload better ones later. We've tried many times to google pictures like cairn/ corgi mix but she looks nothing like what comes up lol. And she is a herding dog because she herds many things and other animals by nipping at their feet until she gets them to go were she wants them. She also appears to "be wearing pants" like herding dogs. And she focuses on things like border collies do.

1. it's a rockshaft
2. yorkie and dashund mix?
3. Dachshund/Yorkie? She does look like a little GSD. Soo cute! Good luck!
4. I thought Cairn terrier/Min Pin or cairn terrier/Yorkie... but it looks like she might be a little bigger than the pictures make it seem, judging by what others have said. edit: For my first suggesting, Dachshund does make more sense... oops!
5. Yorkshore terrier mix.
6. Those are not the best pictures, but from what I make of it, it is a terrier type mix. It's not a German Shepherd - it's too small and looks really nothing like one. It is not a corgi either. I say some sort of terrier breed, not a Jack Russell though.
7. :3 I have no idea. > >; Too small to be a german shepherd. GS's are BIG dogs. But their fur is wirey kind of. Your vet might be able to tell you, OR~ You can take the other answers advice and google what their suggestions look like, for instance... "Dalmation shepherd lab mix" and click images. That's how we found our dog's breed. When you're looking, note the body shape, facial pattern(are the eyebrows darker or lighter?(example)), the body color and pattern. (German Shepherds have a saddle-like shape coloring on their back.) Look at the face shape, the snout length, the length of the fur, size of the feet, EVERYTHING. Don't judge me on it, but if I had to guess I'd say Part Yorkie and part ...something-terrier. Could be a result of a bunch of different breeds for all we/you know.
8. it could be a yorkie and german shepard mix. i don't know which dogs, but it's definetly a mix.
9. Possibly, Australian Shepherd, Cairn Terrier cross?
10. How big is she? How much does she weigh? Well, based on the photos(which, no offense, aren't really clear), I'd say that she's a Belgian Tervuren/ Yorkie mix. She is probably part Yorkie, I can guarantee you that. The photos make her look small and the color of her fur is sort of like a Yorkie's. Belgian Tervuren are herding dogs which matches your description.
