[QUOTE="Shanghai, post: 1146773, member: 22068"] As Heath said it depends on what you want the dog to do. No offense to heeler owners but I've never liked them. My experience is they are hard headed and not real biddable, but do tend to have some personality. I am biased so take that into consideration, but if you'll notice at the dog trials the majority are Border Collies. IMO they are the absolute smartest, easy to train and have tons of personality as a companion dog also. I can't stress enough to buy from someone that uses their dogs in their cattle operation and is reputable Stay away from the breeders that have more dogs than cows ;-) Now for my own personal recommendation I am extremely partial to the McCallum line, but there are lots of others lines that are really good.
