Thanks, Jeff. I agree, very subjective. I should have phrased it differently. Doing some internet searching, it seems that the border collie is one of the most desired trail dogs. If I were to get a dog, it would most likely be a mutt from the shelter. I love the pit bull, but unless I raised it from a pup, I would be a little concerned with it. Also, their issues with hip dysplasia. A dog of that size and shorthaired would be my preference.
