I have two austraillian sheperds, purebreds, brothers, both very crazy. One is a red merle and one is a blue merle (I think that is how it is spelled). Dreamer, the red merle, is pretty calm while in our yard, but as soon as he is on a leash, he is like walking a tank. Litterally. And the other one, Dante, the blue merle, is a little demon in the yard (he will either bite your butt, if you are a stranger, or he will "goose" you, [stick his nose in your butt] if he knows you), and is an angel while on walks. They are both from the Yucca Valley shelter. I love them both. And they are both very, very, fuzzy. I will get a picture up as soon as my computer will let me.
