Why are you wanting to walk Bella in a stroller? I'm not a fan of using a stroller to replace a walk. Sheepdogs need they exercise. Also, when you ask stroller or bike trailer I'm not sure what you mean. Are you planning on walking her or putting her on a bike?
That said, I have several strollers so my arthritic boy can rest on parts of our walk, and he sometimes has to share it with Tully (when her hip replacement plays up). Two strollers are ones that become bike trailers with another attachment - they are handy because they fold up and have inflatable wheels so go over rough surfaces and ensure a smoother ride. Another stroller is a typical looking dog stroller with plastic wheels. I ended up removing the crate part and putting a box in it's place (Deska is long and the crate was too squishy). Most dogs prefer to stand in the strollers, unless they have rear end problems, like hip arthritis, so you'll need something long enough. Also keep in mind whether you want to lift her in and out or have one low enough for her to get in herself. And check the brakes. I brought a Dutch Dog, which is a good looking stroller, but the brake is flimsy.

I just bought a Solvit stroller for Tinsel and Phoebe as he is unable to walk now without causing more damage to his right wrist and she gets tired and needs to be carried if we go too far. This stroller has inflatable large wheels and lots of opening etc. for air circulation.
