All About Aussies

The Australian Shepherd is a medium-sized breed of dog that originated in the United States. They are highly intelligent, loyal and active dogs that make great companions for active families. The breed is known for its strong herding instinct and is often used for herding livestock. They are also popular as family pets and are often used in agility and obedience competitions.

Australian Shepherds have a strong, muscular body. They have a medium length, double coat that can be straight or wavy. The coats come in a variety of colors including black, blue merle, red merle, red and tan. Their almond-shaped eyes are usually brown or blue. Their heads are wedge-shaped with a long, tapering muzzle.

Australian Shepherds are very active and need plenty of exercise. They are intelligent, easy to train and respond well to positive reinforcement. They are generally healthy but can be prone to certain health conditions such as hip dysplasia, eye problems and epliepsy. That is why all of our dogs and puppies get NuVet Supplements. They require regular grooming and should be brushed at least twice a week.

The Australian Shepherd is a great choice for active families who are looking for a loyal and intelligent companion. They are also a great choice for those looking for a dog to herd livestock. With proper training and exercise, the Australian Shepherd can be a wonderful addition to any family.
