Description

Look at me! I'm an adorable Mini Australian Shepherd Puppy! I was bord on a farm in the counrty around children. My Mom Bella and dad Rambo are both here with me. I am up to date on my shots and de wormers. I have already been to see the local veterinarian and have my microship. For more information or to schedule a time to come and see me, please call Marlene. Australian Shepherds, bred initially to herd livestock and be work dogs, have maintained their energetic nature and are happiest when given a task and being played with. These dogs are very intelligent and thrive when performing activities and love to learn new tricks and games. They are easy to train and highly intelligent, but do have a tendency to bark or howl, and use their mouth to communicate by chewing or play-biting, and for this reason usually enjoy activities such as fetch. Aussies are prone to explore and have very high energy needs. It is important for them to get lots of exercise; they are very playful and not receiving the attention they need could lead to them developing destructive tendencies or being loud. Without a job to do they will often invent their own job so it is important to keep them occupied; they can even learn how to help with chores! Their ability to perform tasks make them excellent guide dogs for personal assistance and they excel at search and rescue or police work as well. Australian Shepherds can make excellent family dogs for active families. They are very loyal and bond well with owners while also doing well with strangers and other dogs as well. Their tendency to herd may have them gently herding kids, but they usually do really well with children! Australian Shepherds also are very protective and will warn their owners if they hear or see something, and require a confident owner or they will feel like they are assuming the dominant role. They should also be exposed to other people at an early age or they may become fearful around strangers that could lead to aggressive behavior. Aussies require a moderate amount of grooming, but a lot of attention and don’t do well being left alone. Aussies are beautiful dogs with a wide range of colors that vary greatly between puppies. Australian Shepherds usually range from 18-23 inches tall and weigh between 40-65 pounds. They are generally healthy dogs, but it is important to research specific breeds to determine common illnesses they may be prone to. Because of their tendency to roam it is important to ensure they have secure fencing, electric fencing does not work for this breed. These dogs are happy to take commands and will be excited to play with you! We are all very curious and love being outside!
