Why an Australian Shepherd?
Australian Shepherds are truly versatile dogs. They are extremely intelligent animals that can go from being an agile herding dog to a precision obedience competitor all while being a wonderful family companion and protector. A very endearing quality is their extreme desire to please their owners making them fast learners and loyal friends. Aussies love children, and when raised with them become a predictable and devoted family member. They are good watchdogs with strong territorial instincts, naturally possessive and protective of their family, home, and personal items. An Aussie’s unusual colors and markings make them stand out and admired wherever they go. They love to play ball and frisbee and it’s hard to keep most of them out of water. They also tend to have a wonderful sense of humor that makes life with an Aussie always interesting! Aussies are the perfect breed for people who want to be ‘owned by’ a highly trainable, super-smart dog that can work/play ’till the cows come home’
