Heelers are some of the BEST dogs I have ever been around. They are very smart and need alot of exercise. They will also herd your kids by the heels. I have horses so you HAVE to train them not to herd them.

Border collies are SOOO smart, they are not for an average dog owner, certainly not a first time one. They need someone who will give them a job be it agility, tracking, frisbee, or herding. Otherwise they are not fun to live with

Jack russells are adorable, and smart, but they are also a high maintence dog. They are destructive and are truly a big dog in a small body. Think little man syndrome. Great dogs for owners who know this. They also shed a ton for their body

The hunting breeds I have found to be really sweet if socialized around people as puppies. I doubt a pointer/setter left in a run from puppyhood meant ONLY for hunting would make a good pet. The pointers/setters I have been around are really good dogs

I will write more later
