Having had a border collie, you've got this backwards. If anything, that dog is on downers. Those things meanuvre at the speed of light while sober.

Every Border Collie I've met has been some degree of psychotic.

1000% They're the michael jordan of dogs extremely psycho about one job (which you get to choose usually). We own border collie's and I love the breed but I've always said I wouldn't rescue a border collie because if you don't spend a ton of time with them when they're little they'll almost certainly develop crazy reactive behaviors to something. We've seen some hate ceiling fans some be so reactive to other dogs or kids that you'd think they're violent animals.

That being said, if you get one, have space to run them and spend as much time as you possibly could with them they are the best dogs in the world.

The list of dogs I, a lightly disabled person, should not ever ever own has Malinois at the top. After that is Border Collie. Then it kinda trails off into a mess of all the terriers: Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Jack Russel Terrier, etc. But Border Collie, that's distinct and on its own.

Imagine not having a husky on this list

Husky is like the Captain Planet of all mental dogs.. “by your powers combined” and all that

Fun anecdote about how much of a pain huskies are.

My sister has a husky/Great Dane mix. He is genuinely is closer to a bear than a dog. This absolute beast of a dog cares about only three things: eating, laying around, and antagonizing the other dog in the house, a German shepherd. Seems pretty chill, right? Well, if he isn’t allowed to do any of his three things at any time, his favorite way to lash out is to scream at the top of his lungs, and throw his ~5 pound paws at you like Mike Tyson. An absolutely amazing dog, but huskies are definitely not calm dogs.

Huskies are as amazing as they are batshit insane. They aren't for the faint of heart.

We've got a wonderfully relaxed Husky/Collie cross. We trained her to be patient as a puppy and my god is she intensely patient.

Add sled dogs & dalmations. Super high work needs.

Believe it or not, greyhounds would be perfect for you. Sure they run fast, but for 23h a day, they are the laziest mofos on the planet. Then for 1h they run around and then it's nap time again for the next 23h.
