I had heard on ANIMAL PLANET that Collies are one of the most-likely breeds to bite, but its instinct. Collies, as wel as other herding dogs, are bred to nip and bite, so it comes natural. I think the whole biting thing all depends on the dog, not the breed. And, I kind of understand the hound thing, its not that they're not smart, but they have a mind of their own. My great aunt use to breed Afghan hounds and she a couple of really smart ones, but they all had a mind of their own.
