Either a Sheltie - Border Collie mix, or just a Border.
Smart beyond belief, friendly to all who deserve it, protective - but non-aggressive until required.
I replaced my last BC with another - which was stolen within 2 months. "The Warden" hasn't been ready for another since.
Two heartbreaks in 2 months were a bit much.

No question for me....Border Collie. My current BC is now 10 and I hope he lives for a long time. Smartest dog I have ever owned and I have owned several breeds over the past 65 years. He was easy to train, has good manners, is very loyal and goes with me everywhere. He hunts pheasant, herds cattle, loves the Frisbee, reads my mind, don�t raise your voice around my wife or he'll get really irritated and definitely don't lay a hand on her!

I used to take my yellow lab backpacking with me..... I woke up one AM to find her (miles from the nearest trail head) with what appeared to be a brand new tennis ball between her front legs..... Her nose maybe 10" away from mine waiting for me to wake up.... The expression on the black Labs face with it's paw over his buddies nose reminded me of it....  John, no fair posting puppy pictures.... 
Please don't feed the trolls!

Speaking of "Heelers"...
It's one breed that I've never owned, but there was a guy who lived up around the corner from the house I grew up in, that had an incredible Heeler.
That guy rode his motorcycle everywhere he went, and that Heeler rode with him on the back seat! No box, or straps or anything! He just stood there and balanced!
Obviously, not the smartest thing in the world to do, but it was pretty amazing to see as a kid!

I'd like to try another airedale. I had a pup for a while that I thought the world of, but "lost" her when I broke up with a long time girlfriend.
We currently have a first generation labradoodle and I really like the temperament and personality of this dog. So much so that we're meeting some folks tomorrow who have to give up their 6 year old male labradoodle because of a move they're making and we've offered to give their dog a good home, providing our dog and the male up for adoption get along well. I was going to suggest a labradoodle or a golden doodle; bigger, intelligent dogs that I hear make very good pets. And, they don't shed but can still hit the field if you're so inclined.

We don't live in a gated community and crime is almost non existent. Not recommended, but my wife has left here purse and keys in her unlocked car over night in the driveway, and everything was there in the morning. I live in a high crime area but oddly enough, the car are left unlocked night after night and numerous times we've left valuables in the car. Helps if everybody on the treet knows you I guess. But anyways..... My own best dog.... blue (or red) heeler). AN even better dog.... a heeler/sheepdog mutt, border or aussie no matter.... takes the best qualities of both breeds and moderates the faults. Birdwatcher

Ditto. Can love most any dog, but the sheltie I had growing up and the border/aussie mix have now are treasures. A cross of any of those would be attractive again. That shepard-ing intellect is endearing.

Hard to beat a lab, can't beat two of them from the same litter. ![[Linked Image]](https://scontent-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/t1.0-9/10169330_768797263139439_6894126466068371553_n.jpg) I would maybe get a pointing griffon. My buddy uses his for all sorts of critters. Maybe a fox/rat terrier.

![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/Iflytrout/Jake/Jakesnow5_zps56045ba9.jpg) Think I'd get me another one of these..but would probably get a purebred..since a mix like Jake would be hard to come by. Great Pyrenees..that's if I'm still in cold weather area.

A yellow lab. Unconditional love, awesome companion, smart, laid back, good watch dog, big enough not to trip over, smart enough to move outta da way when told. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/splattermatic/20130704_220644_zps487cb347.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/splattermatic/5cd542c6.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/splattermatic/trap10.jpg) I love you dad. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/splattermatic/Trapportrate3_zps12385850.png)
