You're Australian Sheperd is an Amerian breed, the Blue Heeler is another name for the Australian Cattle Dog (Australian), and then your Border Collie. We have Australian Sheperds and have some friends with Border Collies and some with the cattle dogs. Not prejudice, but the Sheperd is real trainable has enough energy to work all day and give 150% but is smart enough to know when it don't need to work and is content to hang out and watch TV with you.
The cattle dogs I've seen are real neat and have some pretty good traits but can be a little nippy when playing (I guess comes from the heeling instinct).
The Border Collies our friend has are "Bordering" on insanity. It must be the way they are bred because I remember them as people are describing here sweet dispo, etc. These dogs they have are maniacs, always have to be doing something. Smart as heck though.
I'd say google Australian Sheperd or English Sheperd maybe even Farm Sheperd and see what you come up with. Check out the Australian Cattle Dog / Blue (or red) Heeler also.
