Shelter people know if they can put anything other than "pit" the dog's chances of adoption goes up 1000% (with very good reason). Source = thousands of volunteer hours at shelters.
Not trolling you dude, congrats on the dog and she's cute. However, you have a significant portion of pit there and all the traits that come with it. Train the shit out of that dog and you will have to go above and beyond regarding socializing with people (especially kids) and other dogs. Make sure you let that dog know you are the boss and be consistent with your boundaries. Much easier to pull them down by the scruff of their neck and put them on their back at 30lbs than 60.

I don't care if she is a Pit or not, but I was just going by what I was told. She's a mutt.
However I've seen pictures of other short hair border collies that look exactly the same.
Pit bulls are my favorite breed and I wouldn't be shamed of owning one. It's possible she has some in her, but she's only 18 lbs and 4 months old. She's not gonna get much bigger. Probably 30-35 lbs at most.
When I finally live in a house with a yard, the next dog I adopt will be a Pit.
Also, I didn't get her at a shelter. I got her from an acquaintance who's cattle dog fathered her. He told me the other dog was a border collie.
So whether she is or isn't a pit she's still my dog and I love her.
