Meet the Australian Shepherd

Welcome to the home of the Australian Shepherd on Dog Hobbyist! According to the United States Australian Shepherd Association, the Australian Shepherd is an intelligent, medium-sized dog of strong herding and guardian instincts. It is not really an Australian breed, but it came to America by way of Australia when the Basque people of Europe settled in Australia.

Aussies, as they are affectionately called, are loyal, devoted, and obedient family companions. Mainly used for sheep herding, they seem to work better with cattle, according to many experts. Aussies need to have a job and be kept active. Many owners have used them in therapy work as service dogs, and they also excel at agility. Without a job, they can turn destructive.

Australian Shepherd Club of America, Inc is a great place to learn more about the competitions for this breed.
