What kind of dog is it in the Boniva commercial with Sally Fields?

by Admin on March 12, 2010

I would just like to know the name of the breed because my mom had a dog like that growing up, but she can’t figure out the breed name.

Dances With Woofs ~ RIP,Mama ~ March 12, 2010 at 12:15 pm: I believe it is an English Shepherd,or a "Farm Collie," which is more of a type of dog than a purebred,a mix of Rough Collie,Border Collie and other herding breeds. It’s a beautiful dog.

then the dog is definitely not a lab or golden retriever as one poster suggested. It is hard to tell, but it appears to be some type of collie or shepard.

(quoted)English Shepherds are no longer the well known breed they were 70 years ago. Although they have been registered as a distinct breed for over 80 years.
