Needs to be the only dog
Australian Shepherds are highly intelligent, energetic working dogs originally bred for herding livestock. They thrive in active homes where they can engage in both physical and mental challenges. Aussies excel in dog sports such as agility, obedience, and herding trials. Their energetic nature means they need plenty of exercise to stay content. Australian Shepherds form strong bonds with their families and are often protective of their loved ones.
Their medium-length coat requires regular brushing to manage shedding. These dogs are quick learners but require consistent, structured training to avoid unwanted behaviors. They are alert and make excellent watchdogs without being overly aggressive. With the right environment, Aussies become loyal, hardworking, and incredibly affectionate companions.
