I've had 2 border collie crosses. Both have been very clever as pups.
My present collie cross was stopping at roads and waiting for the command to cross when she was only 4 months old. They also dont have the fixations that pure breds have.

What breed is my dog see link for picture?
From the look in his sharp eyes, his grey-and-white coat colour and his low-hanging coat, Elvis definitely looks like that he has some Siberian Husky in his ancestry. His body shape and his Irish-marked coat pattern give slight evidence that he may be mixed with a Border Collie. His ears share a combination of genetics from both breeds - The Siberian has erect ears and the Border Collie usually has floppy ears. Lots of dogs that are Border Collie mixes have this sort of ears. The shape of his muzzle also resembled that of a Samoyed's in the first photo, yet it looks more like a Northern Inuit Dog's muzzle in the other photos.

What are some dog breeds that look like puppies when they're adults?
I've noticed Poodle mixes such as Cockapoos, ShihPoos, Pomapoos etc tend to almost look exactly like they did as puppies. Teacup and Tiny Toy Poodles with the baby doll face look like puppies as adults. American Cocker Spaniels still look like puppies as adults sometimes, some Yorki mixes like Morkies also look like puppies as adults. I think fluffy or curly dogs with a shorter nose tend to look more like a puppy as an adult.

Not too likely as the husky would probably eat the game animal. There dogs are working dogs and generally sled pulling animals. Still, they are very intelligent and they might be so trained as a hunting dog. I would not want that job myself, but you might give it a try. Rabbits, to start, perhaps.
