So close! I like Belgian Shepherds enough to have one, especially Tervurens. Aussies are lovely, and commonly merle, which is a plus, but I don't like how blockily square their profile is. I like sloping, curvy lines, and I never want a dog whose tail has been removed.

My love for that swoopy sighthound aesthetic brought rough collie over border collie. So shepherd isn't in the name, but it's still a shepherd.
