Australian Shepherds

Aussies are very active dogs, and were originally bred for working dogs. They will naturally “herd” chickens, cats, children, vehicles, or anything else if they are not properly trained to contain their natural instincts. They don’t necessarily need a large yard to run in, but it is preferable to have ample space for such an energetic dog. As long as they are given adequate time and attention from their owners, they do fine in just about any setting.
