thanks very much! I'm really looking closely at the Finnish Lapphund, because her face is strikingly like one of the photos of a Lapphund on wikipedia. Though I do think it likely she's a mix, but she has that tail, too, bushy and curled. I'm guessing she's 30-35 lbs, but she's young and may not be finished growing. I kept looking at collies and herding dogs yesterday. She is very quick and jumps very high with little effort, and I think she's very intelligent. I can tell her things and she'll mind. She barks sharply. Very protective, I think.
