We have Shelties here in addition to the Shepherds, big dog attitude in a little package, lots of herding instinct, and they will do anything for you. Very intelligent, and great with kids etc. They are actually remarkably similar to Shepherds in temperament. They can be loud, but they require less grooming than you'd expect...

But loving dogs is loving dogs :-) I have always had a small breed along with the shepherds and have loved them to bits.
