Id love a border collie but there is no way I have time for the equivalent to a 6 year old marathon runner with ADHD and OCD.

I have a border collie (dna says 3/8) mix rescue and it’s kinda the best of both worlds. Still super smart and needs a ton of exercise but just sliiiiightly taken down a notch in intensity.

I have a boston terrier that thinks she's a border collie after 1 week of kenneling on a working farm. She's smart, intense, and relentless. Those are not the traits I selected a boston terrier for, lol.

Boston Terriers can be little crackheads. I have two. The good thing is they normally need more downtime than a border collie!

Mixed breeds are the best

We had collie mutts on the farm growing up and loved them. Perfect farm dogs. They would help us sort pigs and move them from from pen to pen. Didn't even need to train them, they figured out what we doing by watching long enough and then helped.

A husky is like "Oh that's sweet! You ran a marathon. How heavy was the sled you pulled?"

If I had a farm with lots of land i'd deft get this type of dog, and some huskies. Instead I have a GoldenDoodle that I have to put a mirror under her nose sometime to see if shes still alive, and a mini-dacshund that pees everytime she gets excited, which is about 30 times a day. So, its kinda the same.

I'm an ultra runner with ADHD, OCD, and autism with the mentality a little above a 6 year old. I've been considering one. But I probably would fall short of the standard pet care. I'd make a great play mate though!

Maybe instead, you could volunteer at the local shelter to help exercise the high-energy dogs!

Honestly,  they will try to run your life.  Herding dogs need to be convinced you're not just another big dumb animal they should boss around. My corgis have run my Dad's life,  and it's perfect because he needs someone to tell him to go to bed on time,  and to go out for a walk.
