a friend found this dog in a box on the side of a road and gave it to me, anyone know what kind of dog it is?

The merle markings and coloring are indicative of the Australian Shepherd. It is difficult to tell breed when they are puppies as this one is. But most likely it is and Aussie.

I agree with Aussie. Maybe even pure but hard to tell when their so little. Since it was found in a box its possible a puppy mill or back yard breeder dumped it:x

Bless the little baby that it was found by your friend!

i did a google image search for Australian Shepherd and it does kinda look like one. this dog has one grey eye and one blue eye, does that mean anything?

also i need a name for her any suggestions?

My mother just got a Aussie and that's what it looks like to me.

Thats one lucky puppy. I agree with the others on it being aussie.

Yep! Most likely an Aussie!!

That's a blue merle Australian Shepherd. Poor dog, I can't believe someone would do that, good thing you rescued him/her.

Yep thats a distinct Aussie marking! Its possible she's still a mix (if the aussie line is strong enough, the eye thing can show up) but from the looks of it, she looks like she might be pure.

well i decide to name her Delta, its the middle letter of my fraternity. (omega delta phi)

im taking her to the vet on monday or tuesday to get her shots and make sure she if fully healthy.

how much should shots and a check-up cost?

also do aussies require any special treatment as far as health wise or hair treatment?
