Yes, Shep has some border collie in him. He is too mellow to be all border collie. I think he is wonderful.
I've had 3 border collies and all three looked different. The one that was absolutely what border collies should be didn't look like a border collie at all. Just because your Shep is too mellow doesn't mean he can't be pure bred collie. If it's OK with you, I'll PM you with pictures of my guys who are all pure-bred and relate what their personalities and skill set are.
