My friend has an aussie/border collie mix. He's very intense, and sensitive about everything. He wants you to throw a ball for him 24/7 and he won't take no for an answer. If he's playing frisbee he gets VERY focused on that, nothing else matters. He will get upset if people yell or if he even thinks they are mad at him. It's not unusual for him to pee a little or release his anal glands if he's very nervous or scared. If he doesn't get taken to the park to play frisbee often enough he'll get upset and start chewing on himself (to the point his paws were bleeding and oozing).

He was rather skittish when she first adopted him at 6 months old but now he's very confident and friendly....so much that he jumps in everyone's face lol. He's also very intelligent, I could see him excelling at flyball or agility if she trained him in it.

I don't know if that helped or not.......he's a mix too, but he's always seemed more border collie in personality to me. I LOVE Cisco as if he's my own dog, he's the perfect dog for my friend. But are they for me? I really don't think I can handle a herding breed right now, I'll stick with huskies.
