Someone needs to convince me that I do not need a Pyrenean Shepherd. Because they are awfully appealing and the only thing I'm hesitant about is that everyone I talk to either says they're the most amazing, smart, high-drive dogs ever and they'd never be without one...or people saying they'd never touch the breed because they often turn out to be temperament trainwrecks (then again, that's what everyone says about Malinois, and I'm definitely going to get a Mal regardless).
But really.
Koolies are also tempting, but I don't think they have the drive/temperament I'm looking for. And all the breeders breed merle to merle anyway, so that's out. =/
