I just had to vote border collie, i grew up on a farm, and thats all we ever had, our pet dog scott, was a border collie, he was the most gentle animal i have known, we loved him so much that when we left the farm for the city , we could not part with him, he came with us, and lived a happy life until he had to go to rainbow bridge as he had cancer, i missed him so much, he was my big furbaby, and he adored out cat, he used to sit with her between his paws and lick her to bits, she in turn loved him just as much, a gentle giant he was.
Slightly off the subject, but don't you all love it when animals that live together love each other so much and they are afectionate and groom each other?

My 2 kitties are so in love with each other...and my Siamese (Petey) is 6 months older than my Burmese (Twinkie) and Petey tries to be her boyfriend and father...it's precious when he just wants to groom her and she just wants to play....he holds her down and licks her and she just lays there with a look on her face like a little kid whose mom is combing his hair.

It's great to see animals that are happy and copmfortable enough to act in their "natural habitat."
