Handy Dogs - folks in New Zealand call them Handy Dogs because they come in very handy.  With the cross you get a working dog that has all the instincts of both breeds.  They have all the necessary herding instincts required.  The Handy dog has a lot less noise than a Huntaway.  They will outrun quietly and generally only use their noise when the stock are a bit sticky.  They will get-a-hold when required.  Their size is mostly inbetween the Huntaway and the Collie, about 60-70 lbs.
