what about an aussie? Sure they can be "hairy" dogs, but I find mine don't really "shed", they do require grooming tho. My GSD's shed a 100% more than my aussies. Aussies can be "high maintenance" tho.
Hyper isn't the word I use for my aussies, more like HIGH energy, altho some middle of the road, laid back ones can be found. There are also a ton in rescue, look here if your interested http://aussierescue.leepfrog.com/
