Cool Dog!
No, he is an Australian Cattle Dog, sometimes called a Queensland Heeler or Blue Heeler.
I've always loved them, but I think they'd have too much energy for me. If I got into walking a few hours each day, and agility training, they'd be my first choice. When I worked at the adoption program at Petsmart, there was a guy who brought his in. He didn't leash him and he brought him everywhere with him. He just followed him around. And when the guy went in to look at the cats the dog waited patiently outside of the room. He was an awesome dog! I guess when the guy was at work, he'd wait in the guys car in his work's heated garage. He didn't like being left at home and preferred to wait in the car.

Yes, they are very cool dogs. Most are pretty high energy. Billy is a ball and tug fantatic.I've always loved them, but I think they'd have too much energy for me.
Wow the focus and intensity in his gaze in the jump picture is awesome. I've heard they are (generally) more intelligent than your average dog - is it true? And have you ever put him on sheep? I bet he'd love it.
