Alrighty..I've seen the anwers "Australian Shepherd" and "Cathoula Leopard Dog."
It's defenitely not either of those. I know for sure it isn't an Aussie, as I'm an Aussie fanatic and have owned them. The body shape, even if it is a puppy, is not right for either of those breeds. Cathoula's are more slender, and Aussie puppies are always fluffy.
Anyways, I own a blue heeler mix. My guess is that the puppy probably does have some blue heeler in her, but she really just looks like a mixed breed. :)

That is one cute puppy. It looks like it has some blue heeler in it, even if it's not a purebred. I've never heard of this Catahoula Leopard Dog before but looking at the pictures, it sure looks similar, especially the eyes.

WOW! What a cute puppy. It doesn't look like a pure breed cattle dog to me, but it is hard to tell from only pictures. It could be a cattle dog mix. But It looks a LOT like my friends puppy. She is an English Pointer and Lab mix, who just happened to have this recessive gene that made her that funny color. The puppy could also be a Catahoula Leapord dog. Or it could have some australian shepherd in it because they can have that dappled coloring too. If it is a mix, you will never know for sure what it is mixed with. But your vet will probably be able to give you a good guess. Good Find on that CUTE puppy!!!!

That is definitely a Catahoula Leopard Dog, not a blue heeler.

If you are in australia, it could be any number of heeler crosses, the shape is right for a blue heeler pup, but the colour looks like a sheltie or aussie shepherd. But its a cute little bundle thats for sure.

It is possible that it could be a blue heeler mix, but it more probable that it is a catahoula cross dog.

it could be a catahoua like the previous post. or possibly an austrailian cattle dog/ austrailian shephard mix. the austrailian shephards frequently have blu eyes, but the cattle dogs aren't supposed to. I don't know muck about a catahoua. I have the AKC book, and it's not in there
I looked at the previous post's link to the site on catahouas. the only thing i think is different in that breed than your puppy, is possibly the ears. they seem to have more of a drop ear, where your seem to want to stand up. and they are set a little higher on the head.
either way, you got one cute puppy!!!

This dog looks like an Austrailian Shepherd to me. Search it to be sure. Good Luck.
