Get a Sheltie.

One thing with Aussie's are they have thyrod problems.(Which causes them to see the world diffrently and they will become aggressive, Chewy has it) It is so comon in them that almost every dog has them, but may not show aggression. The traner I went to to help Chewy had to put 2 down and maybe another one soon. She also is workign with another one who has the same problem. They also are EXTREMLY entergetic dogs. Since they are herding dogs they are gonna wanna be exersised. I used to walk an Aussie and to get all of His energy out we had to rollerblade for an hour straight. Jenny Ward, the trainer I was speaking about, said they are extremly hyper and are often givin up because of there hyperness. if you have the time to exersise the dog then I think they would be pefect for you. But they are alot of work and you run a high risk of getting one with a thyrod problem. I have learned alot about Aussies, and I to once thought they were the perfect breed for me, but I no longer do. Becasue Chewy is almost half Aussie the vets, trainers and people I meet on the street refure to him as a Aussie Beagle and I have learned so much from everyone abotu Aussies. The good things and bad things. I used to also walk a Lab and my sisters boyfriend owns a lab and there is a Lab down the street I visit all the time. They all are hyper dogs and are run everyday to keep there energy level down. If you want to know anything more about any breed, please PM me.
