If you do not want to show or breed, consider adopting from a rescue (NOT humane society). My uncle’s wife runs the rescue here in Houston, and I am sure they would love you to adopt one from here… But here are some rescues closer to you:

I Looking for a Sheltie Collie?
admin answers:
A sheltie or Shetland Sheep dog. You can search for either one they are the same breed.
I would go to google and google your state and the breed for instance

Sharon asks…
Breeds that fit my needs???
I have been shopping for a purebred dog for several months. I have done my own research and have a few candidate breeds, now I need some unbiased opinions ( not surprisingly it seems all breeders believe the dogs they have chosen to be the finest breed on earth). I live in Colorado in the city, I have a double lot, the yard is fenced but is not huge. My girlfriend and I both jog so exercise is not really an issue (but I don’t want my couch eaten if I skip a day). Here’s the tough criteria, I enjoy backpacking so my dog has to be able to put in 10 mile days over very rough country for 3-4 days at a time when it is grown. Any breeds that do not have a long history of genetic health problems will be considered. I appreciate your time and assistance.
I have already unfortunately eliminated a couple of these much appreciated suggestions: Pit Bulls are banned in my city and my neighbor already has an ill behaved Malamute. He howls incessantly at any loud noise… he’s beautiful but he hears sirens at least 30 seconds before I do and howls long after I can no longer hear them … so probably not a Malamute. I don’t want my dog to be picking up bad habits that annoy the whole neighborhood.

GSD, lab or golden. A GSD will be able to keep up with you and will LOVE IT but they require a lot of training as they are highly intelligent. A lab or golden are easier to train and very active dogs who love being outside. Another choice is a German Shorthair pointer, VERY active dogs with high energy and very smart. Also a border collie or an Australian shepherd would be a good dog. All of the dogs I listed are smart and would be good off leash in the back country. In terms of not chewing up your couch if you miss a day…good luck finding any dog with the activity level you are looking for. Just make sure you crate him as a puppy until he grows out of the chewing phase!
