I love ACDs, their look, personalities. The only think I am either bit weary about is that I've been hearing about quite a few that are DA. One of my current dogs is a major jerk towards other dogs 90% of the time, usually while on leash or with any small dogs and I'd really rather not go through that again. I've pretty much picked out a breeder if I do go that route who's dogs I really like in looks and temper but I'm open to other options for sure.
I love the herding breeds and would like to stick to them, no hounds, no terriers, no small dogs. Has to be medium/large, has to be able to trusted off leash, trainable, we do a lot of out door stuff, camping, swimming (the dogs) hiking, hunting and like to take the dogs with us. I also like easy to groom, short haired breeds as personal dogs, wash and wear so to speak. We also take our dogs to work, my partner works in forestry and I am a groomer.
Currently we have a lab, acd/gsd and a bc/sibe.
