Temperament

They are intelligent, even-tempered, and naturally protective. They are easy to please and highly trainable, but require early consistent training.

Health

They are sturdy dogs but are known to experience like nasal dermatitis, hip dysplasia, and epilepsy. Regular screenings at a vet is important.

Activity Level

Australian shepherds are high energy, and athletic, and need heavy exercise everyday to thrive. They should have a yard to run in, a few hours daily.

Grooming

Their double coat is fairly easy to maintain with a bristle brush or comb. They should only be bathe when it is absolutely necessary because over bathing can cause skin dryness.

Intelligent, Even-Tempered, and Protective Australian Shepherds

This lean ranch dog is renowned for being the cowboy’s herding dog of choice. They have an irresistible urge to herd, and their intelligence has made them a staple in the rodeo circuit. Despite the name, Australian Shepherds were originally bred in California when ranchers admired the herding dogs of Basque, and assumed they were of Australian descent. Their loyalty and intelligence makes them one of the most sought after breeds in the world.
