Hmm. Short version:
It's a herding dog. This means that you'll need to work hard to train it not to try and herd you or nip at your ankles when you don't move where it wants you to go. It's a big dog in a small dogs body. Very strong willed, with high energy. The dog will need something to do besides sit all day, or it will drive you and it's self crazy. This doesn't mean that they aren't good pets. It just means that you need to understand what you are getting into. I think they are great dogs, but I've heard from owners that they can be a challenge for first time dog owners.
