Well I feel as if the American LD is very different from the Australian LD. You can educate people about the differences, just like terriers, you will get different personalities and behaviors with different terrier breeds.
I typically dont tell people when they ask me what kind of dog I have. I say it is a mix, if they are really interested and ask more questions I talk about them and tell them what they are.
