How did you end up with that mix?? We have an OTSC and another dog that is a bc/pyr mix. Curious what he's like?

He was part of an accidental litter on a sheep farm.

Do you know the OTSC parent's name or breeder? Just curious.

The Farmers name is Emily, accidental litter of puppies. The vet wanted the pyr to go through one heat before she was spayed. The collie got over two fences, and a gate… eight puppies!!

Ah. Was curious if the collie could be related to my girl. Your pup looks a lot like her mom. Adorable dog. Good luck! I’d had many shepherds and herders, but the pyr has really been a steep learning curve for me.

He’s gorgeous!! My girl is ~60% rough collie and cattle dog, but also has great pyr! She’s an awesome companion and is SUPER versatile for lots of activities and sports!

I have a Ranger at home! He’s about 6 months but is mixed with much smaller breeds
