Having worked with BC, AS, and ACD, (I've never even seen a kelpie) I prefer the Border Collie. In all dog lists it is the number one smartest of all breeds. I've seen far too many aggressive ACDs, and I'm not fond of the hyper personality of the AS. BCs are hyper, but easy to control if given a job. I don't see this in the AS and I've been a trainer for over 40 years.

Having owned all of the breeds you ask about, my pick would be ACD for an experience handler, kelpie for beginners. The Aussie shepherd is a little less sharp and a little more goofy than the others, and the BC can be plain neurotic.

it depends on what you want from a dog..my preference is for border collies in what you have listed because of the drive, the coat and the personality but ...i would rather not own any of them i like a particular type of drive.
