Look at me! I am an Australian Shepherd puppy!  My Mom is Patty and my Dad is Merly. I was born on September 21st and I will be ready for my forever home on November 16th! I have been family raised on a farm in the country around children. I have had my shots and dewormers. I will be checked by a veterinarian. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Leroy Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday.

Australian Shepherds, bred initially to herd livestock and be work dogs, have maintained their energetic nature and are happiest when given a task and being played with. These dogs are very intelligent and thrive when performing activities and love to learn new tricks and games. They are easy to train and highly intelligent, but do have a tendency to bark or howl, and use their mouth to communicate by chewing or play-biting, and for this reason usually enjoy activities such as fetch. Aussies are prone to explore and have very high energy needs. It is important for them to get lots of exercise; they are very playful and not receiving the attention they need could lead to them developing destructive tendencies or being loud. Without a job to do they will often invent their own job so it is important to keep them occupied; they can even learn how to help with chores! Their ability to perform tasks make them excellent guide dogs for personal assistance and they excel at search and rescue or police work as well. Australian Shepherds can make excellent family dogs for active families. They are very loyal and bond well with owners while also doing well with strangers and other dogs as well.

Australian Shepherds usually range from 18-23 inches tall and weigh between 40-65 pounds. They are generally healthy dogs, but it is important to research specific breeds to determine common illnesses they may be prone to.
