Aussies are nice dogs when they mellow out at about 2-3 years old, but you basically can't trust them a whit till then. I've trained a couple aussies and I would never trust them like I trust my Sheltie. Keep in mind, if you take out height, shelties and BCs are TOP dogs when it comes to the Agility course. I'd go with a sheltie. In fact I make a point of poking at my Agility instructor who has BCs every time my sheltie beats the BCs in agility class and practice. I think I might have to lighten up with her a bit because she recently gave me a dirty look.
Should I "shop" for an "agility" dog?

Seems like everyone is slightly split. Aussie, no Aussie. But at least we all agree that we never know what we'll get, and you can only try and choose the best pup.
BTW, if an Aussie is anything like Koji has been these past 2.5 years, I don't think I can take it. He's given me enough gray hair. lol
