Our two mutts (Molly the deaf BC-Husky mix, and Ichabod Crane the Catahoula) have been everywhere with us over the past number of years. We took them on a 6000+ KM trip to Colorado and back, where they were able to play around on the summit of Engineer Pass, see Mt. Rushmore and The Devils Tower among other places. We've taken them to the Oregon Coast a few times (their favorite place on earth), and last July we took them on a 3-week 8500+KM journey to the Arctic Ocean and back. (I kept telling them they were probably among the first deaf dog and Cataoula's to swim in the Arctic at Tuk.)
I couldn't imagine going on the adventure without them.

That’s awesome! This is the kind of stuff I was hoping to get out of this post!!
These are my two rats.Oliver to the left, is a 4yo rescue, prob pit lab mix. He is a couch potato, he doesnt like to get dirty or wet, and he is never in a hurry to get anywhere. He is super chill and loves going for a ride.
Finesse to the right, is a 10mo old American showline German shepherd. I was super excited to have a high energy dog that was going to go with me everywhere. Turns out she gets super car sick, makes it about 30 min on the highway before she pukes her guts out. Still love her, but she wont be overlanding anytime soon...

My pitbull used to throw up every single time she would ride somewhere with the wife but has never once thrown up with me and i take her everywhere. Hmmmm...
Could you take my girl for a ride? Lol
Me or my wife driving, my truck or her car. It doesnt matter. She will always throw up 30 min into the ride. Was hoping it would get better, but it doesnt look like it's going to get better any time soon

Have you looked into that medicine they make for car sickness? I’m not into giving my dogs stuff they don’t need but if you’d like her to go on trips it may help.
For longer trips, yes. Dont want to make her drowsy and stuff for any short trips.

This is Ellie. She's year and a half old or so. She was supposed to be a border collie lab mix but there's something else mixed in there to give her those crazy ears. We picked her up at a shelter in Oroville, CA. Her sister was adopted at the same time by another family. There were 3 sisters found on the streets with no mother.

She always goes with me on camping/overlanding/wheeling trips.
I almost froze her to death on my Henness Pass overland trip and had to stuff her in my sleeping bag. I've since bought a much larger and warmer bag (-35F Teton Sports Deer Hunter)
Those ears!
Sometimes she finds balls

I tell my dog all the time "fix your ears you look ridiculous" sometimes she does.

Heres my pup Clara, shes a pit shepherd mix and fully awesome. She has been a big part of me being able to overcome PTSD, and is also an awesome companion to my wife which is a relief to me as we spend a lot of time apart due to work.
She also doesnt seem to mind our Norwegian Forest Cat, Clementine.

My opinion based on her coat color is that she is most likely a German short-hair pointer in the majority of her genes. The face looks mostly like that of a Queensland heeler, and not that of a Australian Blue heeler. The difference being that a Queensland does not have the brown coat splashes that the Blue has. Our family has had and has both breeds. A lot of them were rescue pups. Our current GSP, has a very similar coat pattern as your dog, but has a VERY VERY dark brown that looks like it's black except under direct light.
This a picture of my now departed Blue heeler, he absolutely loved being a truck dog, and went on many camp trips and hikes. He was one of the smartest dogs I have ever had. He also was a rescue pup.EDIT:
Here's my GSP kicking it at home

Here's Jon Snow. I fully realize the absurdity of this picture.
