Australian Shepherd

Don’t let the name fool you! The Australian Shepherd might sound like it comes from the land down under, but it was actually bred as a working dog in America during the gold rush.

These dogs love to have a job, and if you’re a cattle rancher or sheep farmer, then they’d do great by your side. It’s a fantastic combination of intelligence, workability, and beauty and can be the ideal family dog as long as you keep their energy levels in check, teach them tricks, and give them the space to do their thing!
