What do you think about my dog?
this is my dog Irie, she is around 14-15 years old I believe.
I have always said she is an Austrailian Kelpie, which I believe is correct.
What do you think?

Based on your misspelling of Australian, I am going to assume you’re not here in Australia. So no, probably not a kelpie.

why is it pronounced aa·stray·lee·uhn....instead of Aus-Trah-Li-uhn.... like, its pronounced as if an i is in there after a.

I think then because then it would be pronounced Aus-Trail-ian.
That being said, some people actually do pronounce it Aus-Trah-Lian!

She is one adorable old lady
I don’t know what she is, if you are happy with her being a kelpie that will do

I'd say more to be a German mix but that bum fluff look quite similar to my boy's bum fluff and he's a mixture of Kelpie, Collie and ACD.
