We selected each one of our Aussies for specific traits and characteristics. Our dogs have all levels of drive, but also have excellent “off switches”. They have a high desire to be with their family or special person at all times. Aussies are truly the perfect example of a velcro dog. They want to know where you are, where you’re going and if they can come along. They are so eager to please and easy to train. They catch onto things very quickly and enjoy doing any activity. Aussies are very versatile and make great competitors for those interested in herding, agility, frisbee, fly ball, dock diving, obedience and trick training. If you’re looking for an active and intelligent dog that’s up for anything, you can’t go wrong with an Australian Shepherd.
