Australian Shepherd

Australian Shepherds were originally bred to herd livestock over vast distances. They are working dogs at heart and shine in a home where their intelligence and energy are put to use. An excellent companion, the Australian Shepherd, or "Aussie", is easygoing and loves to play. They are true puppies at heart and absolutely love to be in the company of their people. Aussies are intelligent, eager to please, and seem to sense what is expected of them.There?s always something going on behind those bright, intelligent eyes. Australian Shepherds are thinkers and doers, happiest when there?s a job to be done.Their loyalty runs deep, and they often choose their person with quiet certainty.
