The Australian Shepherd, affectionately known as the Aussie, is an intelligent, energetic, and loyal herding breed originally developed in the United States, not Australia. Bred by Basque shepherds in California during the 1800s, the breed was inspired by herding dogs from Australia and became a trusted companion for ranchers and cowboys. Renowned for its agility, stamina, and strong work ethic, the Australian Shepherd excels in herding, obedience, and agility competitions, making it one of the most versatile working dogs in the world.
With its medium-length, weather-resistant coat in shades of blue or red merle, the Aussie combines beauty with athleticism. Highly trainable and eager to please, it thrives when given a job and plenty of daily exercise. Loyal and protective, the breed bonds closely with its family and is great with children when properly socialized, though it can be reserved with strangers. Regular brushing keeps its double coat healthy, especially during seasonal shedding. Smart, devoted, and full of energy, the Australian Shepherd is a perfect fit for active owners seeking a dependable and affectionate companion.

Also note that the TOY size Aussie is not recognized by any certifying organization because it was developed by cross breeding with smaller breeds, so you will not find one wit
