Are the Aussies good with small children?
A. Aussies, like many breeds, that are raised with children are excellent with them. They will become very protective of these children, so you would need to know your dog and his behavior around someone that he perceives is harming that child. Aussies that are strong working dogs that haven’t been raised around children will sometimes try herding children as they run in the yard. ALWAYS watch any dog that has puppies – the mothering instinct is to guard and protect those puppies from EVERY one.
