HISTORY OF AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD
Despite his name, this is an American-born breed. The Australian Shepherd was originally developed to herd livestock for ranchers and farmers in the western U.S., and some modern-day Aussies still hold that job. There are many theories on which breeds were used to create the Australian Shepherd.
The Aussie’s ancestors likely include collie and shepherd-type dogs that were imported with sheep shipments from Australia during the 1840s hence the name. Breeders strove to enhance their herding ability and create a versatile, hard-working, and intelligent dog. The breed enjoyed a popularity boom in the post-World War II years that went hand in hand with a renewed interest in Western-style horseback riding.
Crowds at rodeos or horse shows and audiences of Western movies or TV shows were wowed by the athletic dogs they saw working alongside the cowboys. Despite popular interest, the American Kennel Club didn’t recognize the breed until 1993. Today, the Australian Shepherd remains the same eye-catching, energetic, clever dog that proved useful to ranchers and farmers in the Old West. He’s loved by many and enjoys his life as a family companion, protector, and herding dog.

ABOUT AUSSIE
Watching an Australian Shepherd round up a flock of sheep is beautiful. With sure and athletic movement, he directs the flock using nips, barks, and “eye,” a penetrating stare that clearly says, “I’m in charge.” Intelligent, hardworking, and versatile, the Aussie is a no-nonsense dog who thrives in a home where his brains and energy are put to good use. You don’t have to keep a flock of sheep if you live with an Aussie although it doesn’t hurt but you do have to keep him busy. He’s a high-energy dog who doesn’t know the meaning of couch potato and wouldn’t approve of it if he did.
Because he’s got energy to burn, he needs plenty of exercise a walk around the neighborhood won’t cut it and at least a small yard to help him work out his ya-yas. Lacking a job, he becomes bored, destructive, and loud. Or he might invent his own job: herding the kids, either yours or the neighbors’; chasing cars or other animals; or taking your house apart. If you don’t have the time or energy to train and exercise the Aussie daily, he’s not the breed for you. But if you’re interested in competitive dog sports, the Aussie’s the one. This agile, medium-sized dog with a docked or naturally bobbed tail is a top contender in all obedience, agility, flyball, and herding tests.
He’s also successful in such canine careers as a guide dog, hearing dog, assistance dog, police dog, and search and rescue work. You can even teach an Aussie to help you with chores around the house, such as picking up dirty laundry off the floor and bringing it to you. You’ll probably have to fold clean laundry yourself, though. The Aussie’s a real looker who stands out from the crowd thanks to his attractive medium-length coat and dark brown, yellow, blue, green, or amber eyes. His heritage as a working dog makes him a loyal companion who can be protective of home and family and aloof with strangers. He gets along with kids, although he’ll probably try to “herd” them unless you teach him not to. The Aussie makes life an adventure. He’ll work and play from sunrise to sunset and win your heart with his loyal and loving personality. This versatile breed is a wonderful working dog and a terrific family companion but only if that family is active.
Australian Shepherd Personality
Bred to be pushy with livestock, Australian Shepherds can and will take the dominant role in the home if you don’t give them firm and confident leadership. This makes them a poor choice for first-time or timid owners. Like many herding dogs, Australian Shepherds are naturally loyal to their family but standoffish with strangers.
Young dogs need early socialization exposure to many different people, sights, sounds, and experiences. Socialization helps ensure that your Aussie puppy grows into a well-rounded dog. Enrolling him in a puppy kindergarten class is a great start. Inviting visitors regularly, taking him to busy parks and stores that allow dogs, and taking leisurely strolls to meet neighbors will also help him polish his social skills.
