No straight 50\/50 cross here so her combination is a true enigma.  However, I LOVE playing the &#8220;guess what she is&#8221; game and love hearing what others think.  So here we go!<\/p>\n<p>Risa weighs in between 40-42lbs and is about 20.5 inches high at the withers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_692\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dancingcavy.com\/mysterisa\/2011\/02\/04\/magical-mystery-mutt-tour\/omghappy-4-3-10\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-692\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-692\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/dancingcavy.com\/mysterisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/OMGHappy-4-3-10-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"OMGHappy--4-3-10\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-692\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dancingcavy.com\/mysterisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/OMGHappy-4-3-10-200x300.jpg 200w, http:\/\/dancingcavy.com\/mysterisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/OMGHappy-4-3-10-100x150.jpg 100w, http:\/\/dancingcavy.com\/mysterisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/OMGHappy-4-3-10.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-692\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yes, I do get good reception with these ears. . .even when I'm ignoring you.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Risa is a bit of a non-stop entity.  If I&#8217;m still going, so is she.  She&#8217;ll chase a toy until she&#8217;s ready to drop but she won&#8217;t actually stop playing if I pick it up again.  Ris is also extremely fast and loves nothing more than to run.  Chasing something is preferable but she doesn&#8217;t need anything to go after to enjoy a good sprint.  Despite her go-go-go attitude, she is generally very relaxed in the house (as long as she&#8217;s been exercised).<\/p>\n<p>She has enjoyed lure coursing immensely and I can&#8217;t think of an activity that makes her happier.  While she tends to have herding breed-like traits: stamina, still going long after she should have stopped, circling behaviors, and a nice stalk (and eye?); she failed at herding.  Risa enjoyed chasing the sheep but had no desire to gather them up and move them.<\/p>\n<p>Risa is also extremely intelligent.  She picks up on new things very quickly and loves to learn.  Though she&#8217;s not always the best problem-solver.<\/p>\n<p>She tends to be a bit independent and likes to just take off and do her own thing.  Sometimes this is chasing a prey animal but it can be something as simple as &#8220;I just wanna go check this out.  See you later, Mom.&#8221;  Despite her tendency to use her eyes a lot, she loves to sniff and scent things.<\/p>\n<p>So, any thoughts!?  Here are a few more pictures to help.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_693\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a
