My dog is all red or rather ginger which is not common but is known in examples from the gallery. She is a dog with the build, head shape and short snout that distinguishes the ACD from other Australian working dogs but the hide is a throwback at least to the dingo end of the ACD ancestry and some extra dingo is a possibility improbable as that would seem for Tasmania which does not have the dingo in its fauna. Because she is a foundling and lacks the speckle that is so distinctive a feature of most ACD's there is doubt if she is purebred. She is also bigger than usual.
