To be somewhat contrarian, or more specifically to boil down the dog suggestions into practical considerations-
you want a dog that:
Is of medium build 40-70#s
Is of medium to light coat
Has longish legs
Probably a hunting or herding dog
Get a dog (or breed) who’s waist is noticeably thinner than its chest
Smart, not high strung
One dog that has yet to be mentioned that I think would be really great for your bill is a Chessie (just get one from a breeder that is into ones on the small end of the breed). Loyal, protective, smart, super athletic and obedient if you’re consistent. Generally a lot less high strung than many other field breeds.
