About Australian Shepherd
|
Country of Origin, History of Australian Shepherds
The Australian Shepherd
was developed in the U.S. to work as a herding
dog on ranches. The breed\'s principal forebears
were most likely Spanish dogs that accompanied
the Basque shepherds and herds of fine Merino
sheep exported to both America and Australia
in the early days of the colonies. At some
point it probably crossed with Collie stock.

The Aussie has a strong, deep chest
and stands squarely on all fours. The medium-sized
oval eyes come brown, blue, amber, or any variation
or combination including flecks and marbling. Each
individual\'s masculinity or femininity is clearly
defined.

herd them.
