Even though this breed is called the Australian Shepherd, it originated on the ranches in the Wild West of the United States. It was bred to work in the pastures and meadows as a herding dog. Thus, pictures of the breed alongside cows, goats, and sheep are common. The name probably originated because shepherds and their sheep emigrated to America and Australia from Spain during colonial times. The dog was just part of the cargo. Nowadays, it's still useful on the ranch, but it also is good as a guard dog, watchdog, police dog, search dog, and a playful retriever. Experts attest that this breed is the quintessential playmate for energetic children.
The Australian Shepherd needs to keep busy with designated tasks, and it's such an excellent breed due to its obedience. It's zealous to please its owners. The Australian Shepherd has a curious habit of trying to herd or shepherd anything that moves about, including its master's family members. It's a working dog that's been used in narcotics detection, search and rescue, various therapies, guidance, emergency management and disaster relief, and millions of hours of fun with Frisbee, flyball, fetch, and jogging with their masters. They're so full of energy and obedience that the list of things to do is endless. In fact, they're also good family defenders and love companionship too.
The Australian Shepherd has a patchwork of bicolor, tricolor, or single color coats. They come in copper, white, black, blue merle, red merle, and tan. There are aesthetic and functional differences between the show dog and working version. As with most working dogs, the show dog version is considerably different. Different audiences produce different versions of the exact same breed. Australian Shepherds have a wide range of eye colors, and one eye can oftentimes be a different hue than the other. Rich hazel, green, brown, merle, and blue are all acceptable and thrilling to observe. The dog needs a strong leader and shepherd to care for it. The dog either gravitates to the couch or the workbench. That's a figure of speech that translates roughly to its tendency to be active and pursue new tasks or stick by its master side indoors. Either one is good because the dog is either eager to act or eager to love. Generally, both qualities are present. The activity capacity distinguishes the dogs from each other. There are no aggressive Australian Shepherds.
If the Australian Shepherd is not given enough tasks to do, it will run laps, invent tasks, or play its own games. In fact, it even sticks by its master side like glue. Masters sometimes refer to them as Velcro. They just can't seem to be too companionable or eager to race, run, play, or work. They're energetic balls of zeal. Some tend toward hyperactivity and excessive, self-imposed exercise regimens.
