he is an australian shepherd. You should see him right now, though. He got a whole bunch of pine sap in his fur. I washed and washed him but couldn't get it out so i tried to trim it out. He would wiggle.. and i would try to even that part out.... long story short he looks like he got into a fight with a weed eater. I know his coat will grow back out but the poor dog looks pitiful; right now. I should probably get a professional to even his fur out. Everyone gets a good laugh out of it, and he doesn't care. He probably likes the shorter fur in the Alabama heat.Kristi love your dog story. He is beautiful. What breed is he? Looks too husky to be a Sheltie?
