kelpies
they're clever, not just smart, but clever. They are problem solvers, i love their activity level and how you have to make them want to work with you. I love their reserved nature.
I love the way they look, and the way a good working dog moves. They expression in their eyes that makes you know you should watch what you say in case they hear you. I love their looks, their general shape and physical traits.
Koolies (shorthaired)
still learning about them, i've read on a few different pages that once someone works with a koolie, they never change breeds.
Basically, all the same i said about kelpies, plus i LOVE the merle colouring.
It will either be Koolies or Kelpies that I go on to compete in herding with.
ACD's
i can't forget them, much the same as kelpies, ie reserved nature, great workers, endurance and stamina.
But i see differences in their personality's.
ACD's seem more smart than clever.
While kelpies seem sneakier, ACD's are more into being involved.
I love all 3, still can't shake kelpies from the very top of the list though i don't think, everythign about them just seem's right.
