What functions is the dog to serve? Each has its pros and cons.
Companion ... for an adult, child, or another pet?
Protection ... to bark, or protect against attackers?
Exercise ... jogging, hiking, or ?
For sheet intelligence, the Collie breed is #1.
Identify the two or three breeds that fit your needs and see who among your friends have them. Make time to spend it with you friend and his or her dog. See how they interact, and ask the questions you have directly to them. Even better if you can spend time with a local breeder.
Good luck!
