I've looked long and hard at herding dogs in the past. Specifically at different types of shepherds. I thought I'd settled on English Shepherds and met with a few local breeders. Then I looked pretty seriously at Belgians, but all the pieces didn't fit.
For some reason, I'm still kinda stuck on a herding breed... it just doesn't seem like any of them fit what I'm really looking for.
Ideas?
Grooming is irrelevant, but a wash and wear coat would be ideal.
Less than 60 pounds is ideal.
Not prone to being loud.
No dwarfism.
I really, really, really love tails.
Health testing is common in the breed.
