About Australian Shepherds

The Australian Shepherd is an intelligent, energetic, and versatile breed that can make a wonderful companion for owners. Despite its name, the breed was developed in the United States and became closely associated with ranching and herding. Australian Shepherds are known for their loyalty and strong bond with their families, although some can be reserved around strangers. Their intelligence makes them highly trainable, and like all dogs, they need consistent training and clear boundaries from an early age. Aussies can be great companions for children because of their loyalty and playfulness. They are very affectionate and are eager to be involved with family activities. 

If you are considering buying an Australian Shepherd, be prepared for a dog that needs plenty of daily exercise and mental stimulation. They generally do best with active families who can provide activities such as hiking, running, agility, training, or other exercise. Their medium-length double coat requires regular brushing, especially during seasonal shedding.
