Ooooh. I figured it had something to do with their breed but for the life of me I couldn't figure it out. lol I should have just googled the term.
You were close. They are Blue Heeler/Border Collie mix. Iris looks more like the Border Collie while her sister takes on the Blue Heeler traits. (We tend to stick with herding breeds due to the area. Farming land all around, etc.) They're both wonderful creatures. Very in tune to body language and sound.
Iris is extremely sensitive when it comes to someone being sad. She'll crowd that person until they have to pay attention to her. And she has this thing with nudging. Doesn't matter if you're sitting or standing, she'll lower her head and push on you until you rub her.
Chloe is the best with children. She loves to play with my little cousins. Very sweet girl, I've never seen her have one moment of ill temper.
Seriously, if you give me the chance, I'll prattle on about my dogs for hours. lol
