Default Sam Border Collie Mix, but what is she mixed with?

Hey everyone! I am new here. I adopted an 8 week old Border Collie Mix puppy from the animal shelter on Wednesday The lady at the shelter said that the puppy was a Border Collie Mix but they didn't know what she's mixed with. I looked online and found a Border Collie/Lab mixed puppy that looks alot like my Sam Does anyone know if she is mixed with Lab, or is she mixed with something else? I took these pictures with my cell phone so they are not the best pictures but maybe you can tell what she's possibly mixed with.

I was hoping for the pictures to be bigger But I had no luck with enlarging them, sorry. I hope that someone may have an idea of what she's possibly mixed with.

Border Collie Lab mixes are apparently very popular to mix, you get the intelligence of the Border Collie and the Lab, but the Lab part helps tone down their high energy.

We adopted a Border Collie Retriever mix a year and a half ago and I swear she is the perfect dog. Highly intelligent, easily trained can run and have fun all day while outside, but when inside she is a couch potato and loves to sleep.

We also adopted a Border Collie three weeks ago, he is a great great dog, but I definitely see the difference in energy levels between the 2.

It's far too soon to tell. Puppies of many breeds can be very similar at an early age. Wait until she is 9 months to a year and something may be apparent. Perhaps you can play with the settings on your camera and increase the picture size but even if they were larger it would still be impossible to tell because she is so young.

You can't really tell at such a young age, but I'd guess maybe lab or pointer?
