    Does anybody know about this breed?
    I have searched through library books, but can find nothing.  
    Of several dog-knowledgeable people, only one can even confirm
    the existance of the breed.

    I believe they are different than the short-haired Australian
    cattle dogs; at least the medium-sized puppy I met on a hike
    looked *very* different (more German-shepard-is).  My interest 
    is sparked, but too late to ask the owner.

    Thanks for any information.

Ken,

I owned an Australian Shepherd/Leopard cross several
years ago in Houston. I bought her from a friend, as
a young puppy. She was one of the most affectionate
and intelligent dogs I ever had the pleasure of owning.

She died at age 17, last year. As far as further confirmation,
I cannot provide anything else. Good luck in your search,
and if you do locate some additional info, please post. I
would love to have another one of these breeds, even though
mine was only 50%.
