Shetland Sheepdogs:
What's not to love? They're small/medium dogs, have such soft coats I could pet all day, are generally easy to train, are extremely versatile, and generally make good watch dogs (at least, my two are).






Border Collies:
They're a nice size and excel in so many things. They're wonderful at herding, flyball, obedience, etc. I love their ball, fetch, ball, fetch personality.
