The Australian Shepherd
Sir Franklin Hank on the move.
Aussie's Personality
An Aussie will be the biggest kid in your home, they will whine when they don't get their way and smile when they do. Aussies love their people, almost to a fault, they want to help you with everything your doing. This includes moving the hose to fill the water buckets, right after you rolled it up, digging to plant a new garden, in the wrong spot, and herding your friends to the front door, quickly.
Aussies are not a couch potato type of dog, they don't like watching television, unless they hear a dog bark and then they run to the door. They will however sit on you while you watch television as long as they can be with you or do what you are doing. If you leave your Aussie in the house for a minute and come back, do not be surprised when you are greeted by a bouncing wiggling body saying hello and acting as if you've been gone for years.
Aussies are like shadows and trip hazards, they want to be with you everywhere. You will never be able to go to the bathroom by yourself again. It is this aspect of their personality that made the Aussie a favorite and faithful herding dog. They do everything with style, and are normally not afraid to try new things.
They have the best sense of humor of any dog I have ever met. They will do something just to get a reaction out of you, and then sit there and laugh and smile about it and boy can they talk. They will tell you about their entire day if you let them and go get objects to use as props in the story.
Like most herding breeds, Australian Shepherds have a strong work ethic. They love having a job to do. Left alone indoors for too long, they can go a little batty. For this reason, they are not really suited for apartments. Take them out to work in the field or for a long run in the woods—the activity and mental stimulation will result in a very happy Australian Shepherd.
A healthy Australian Shepherd can live as long as 15 years. Common health issues include hip dysplasia, cataracts and hypothyroidism. Australian Shepherds don’t shed excessively and only need occasional brushing.
Aussie's History
The Australian Shepherd we know today was developed mainly in the U.S. In fact, this breed has no real connection to Australia. Originating in the Basque region between Spain and France as a working dog and sheepherder, the breed drew the name “Australian Shepherd” because many of the Basque shepherds came from Australia. Australian Shepherds became more popular in the mid-twentieth century, favorites of ranchers and cowboys for their unique herding talents, but did not enter the AKC Stud Book until 1991.
Aussie's Features
Australian Shepherds are vigorous, well-proportioned and rustic dogs—a little longer than tall. Their slightly domed heads and medium-length muzzles are about the same length, with almond-shaped eyes that can be blue, brown or amber. Their ears are triangular and set high, their chests are deep and their tails are straight and naturally short. They have a weather-resistant coat with a moderate texture, creating a little bit of a mane. Their hair is short and soft around the head, ears and front legs. Australian Shepherds can be found in black, blue merle, red merle, solid-red or red with white and/or tan markings. Overall, Australian Shepherds have strong, square, balanced frames.
