Hello, and thank you for your question. Zeusmis is such a cute pup! My first thought is that his father was a Border Collie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_Collie If you'd like to know for sure, there are many companies that do DNA testing for dogs, and can tell you more exactly what his pedigree is made up of. I hope this helps!
