I dont think i could do 4 hours of exercise daily

I mean im active but i have other things.

Same, I'd probably wait ti get one till I'm doing agility a lot or want yo go more advanced. That way they will get a lot of exercise from agility

Too true. I'm a alumni student in a dog training program, and more than a few were having trouble with their Aussies. One was nipping a child's face. Resource guarding can be a big thing with herding breeds.

I see a lot of people have troubles with aussies. They are bred to think for themselves, and to push cattle, so they can be boisterous, and forward. If you give them an inch, they will take a mile.

The good thing is they also are sensitive, and are easy to train on praise alone. People get them and expect to have a dog to cuddle. They can be that dog, but first need structure, and limits. They will go to the end of the earth for their humans. They aren't for everyone, but for someone who understands them, they are everything.
