Thank you very much for your reply. That really helps. I have had two border collie crosses and they fit my life perfectly, they could turn it on when needed and shut it down when asked. I don't think I would ever have a purebred, they seem to intense for me.
My last girl was crossed with a Retriever and she was just the best. I saw a batch of pups for sale that were Border Collie x Kelpie but wasn't sure of their temperament. I horseback ride and hike some and think about trying agility. But mostly they would be my best bud
