Our New Family Member: Carly

Carly is a Borador: 1/2 Border Collie 1/2 Laborador

A Borador is said to be a Designer Breed Mix, although it isn't recognized by the AKC.

We were lucky to stumble upon her and her brothers. She was the only White one.  If you are looking for a smart family dog, consider looking for this "breed".
