You got me wanting another too lately.
Aussies range from 45 to 85 pounds. So not all are smaller. Breeding is all over the place as far as coats and sizes. There is no standard weight for Australian shepherds. My one is 50 pounds and my other is around 80 pounds, my last show bred Aussie also was around 80 pounds.
Most are smart but without enough exercise some can be a pain. I follow a few Facebook groups and lots of complaints about them barking, biting, and generally being trouble. They can be frustrating to housebreak too for some reason.
It pays to know the worse as well as the good. They are definitely a challenging breed sometimes, but they are also good dogs.
From your list of breeds the retrievers will be the most biddable, they are bred to work with humans. Aussies are the most clownish, they are bred to think for themselves which sometimes can be challenging, and terriers can be the most stubborn, and are more prey driven, but there are different degrees of terriers. All 3 choice can be big barkers, and destructive when young if not exercised well.
Either choice will keep you busy for a year or two as they mature and settle when gotten as puppies.
I love Border Collies! Surprised they’re less hyper though and Border Collies actually come in a lot of cool colors too! I’m sure you probably know that but they’re so much more than just black and white haha they come in Merle too! And chocolate/red ish and white, lemon, lavender, soooo many.We always had Border Collies growing up. They were so sweet, smart, and loyal. Like most working dogs, they tend to be a bit hyper and driven, but i still find them to be less so than aussies. I do prefer the color variations of aussies tho. I'm fond of unique coloring in all animals. Appaloosas are my favorite horse breed for this reason, longhorn genes in cattle for this reason, EE chickens for this reason, etc. So of course dog breeds with unique coloring abilities too.
Well when i was a kid, colors other than black and white or red and white was unheard of, lol. Thats neat though, i didn't know that!I love Border Collies!

And I love EEs too!!
That makes sense! I feel like a lot of dog breeds have evolved or whatever haha I think with BCs, a lot of the sports people prefer the cool colors and bred them in! Haha harder to find true working lines in other colors but they do exist! But yeah.Well when i was a kid, colors other than black and white or red and white was unheard of, lol.
