1) Belgian Tervuren
The Belgian Tervuren (sometimes referred to as Tervs, shown above) is a highly intelligent breed with an insatiable desire to work and achieve tasks. A Terv’s human will need to find a lot of creative outlets for this dog’s work ethic. They are known to be very affectionate with their loved ones, and they are great household protectors. They are popular choices for K-9 units as well as search and rescue teams.
2) Border Collie
Perfect for athletes and people who want a furry workout buddy, Border Collies are energetic, intelligent, and diligent workers. This breed is playful and bright but might be a little too much for the couch potato or frequent traveler. They need constant and consistent exercise. Otherwise, they are prone to becoming overweight.
3) Collie
The Collie is one of the most recognizable dogs breeds, and their beautiful coat and gracefull appearance have awarded them a high-status. Collies are devoted and loyal dogs and make excellent family members due to their love of children. Their coat is a little high maintenance, but the ever-famous Collie is worth the effort.
4) German Shepard
German Shepards are the ultimate home protector. They are courageous, so much so they have been known to risk their own lives to protect their loved ones. They are loyal and confident and are gentle with their families. They do not create bonds with people immediately, but once you’ve earned the affection of a German Shepard, expect a friend for life.
5) Pembroke Welsh Corgi
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a bright and easy-to-train breed that also makes a lovable family member. They are very alert, and have a “big dog bark,” so, despite their size, they are also a great deterrent for potential intruders.
6) Shetland Sheepdog
These small and curly eared dogs, often called a “Sheltie,” are sensitive, playful, and obedient. They are typically a little reserved towards strangers and might bark at those they do not recognize. But they are also incredibly easy to train and are energetic and intelligent companions.
