The Australian Shepard is a loyal,energetic,and intelligent dog. Untrue to its name the Australian Shepard was not bred in Australia. This dog was bred right here in the U.S. as a herding dog. Aussies today are still used as a herding dog as well as a family pet. They are a very gentle breed so they do extremely well with kids. Aussies are known for their high energy. In order to keep this dog well exercised a daily walk is a good start. Owners of this breed find it easier to keep Aussies under control in the house if they are given a job to do. Such as pulling a wagon or something else that requires work. As far as shedding goes Aussies are average. They don't need much grooming. Aussies are very intelligent dogs and are eager to please so training is a breeze.Since Australian Shepards have so much energy an apartment life is not good for them . They need a lot of room to run around. The one con about this dog is that they do tend to nip, in an attempt to herd their owners, if they aren't taught otherwise. In conclusion the Australian Shepard is a good family pet for a family that can properly exercise, train, and most importantly love him.
