The Australian Shepherd is an
intelligent, medium-sized dog of strong herding and guardian instincts. He is
also a delightful and loyal companion and a great family dog. He loves
to be part of the daily hustle and bustle, and enjoys riding in the vehicle
just to be with his beloved master. As a farm dog, he diligently carries
out his responsibilities, be they bringing in the stock or finding that stray
one that got tangled in the brush. He is easy to train, easy to
housebreak, and eager to please.
Aussies have been used as seeing-eye dogs, as utility
dogs to the physically handicapped, hearing aid dogs, police and narcotics
dogs and search and rescue dogs. In the northern areas they have also
been used as sled dogs. Many go with their masters as volunteers to
children's homes and nursing homes to do therapy work.
Truly, the Australian Shepherd is a highly versatile dog.
Australian Shepherds History:
While there are many theories as to the
origin of the Australian Shepherd, the breed as we know it today developed
exclusively in the United States. The Australian Shepherd was given its name
because of their association with the Basque sheepherders who came to the United
States from Australia
in the 1800's. The Aussie rose rapidly in popularity with the boom of
western riding after World War II, becoming known to the general public via
rodeos, horse shows, movies and television. Their inherent versatility and
trainability made them useful on American farms and ranches. The American
stockmen continued the development of the breed, maintaining the versatility,
keen intelligence, strong herding instinct and eye-catching appearance.
Australian Shepherds have been registered
by various registries since the early 1950's. In 1990, the United
States Australian Shepherd Association was established as the parent club of the
Australian Shepherd representing the breed to the American Kennel Club. On
September 1, 1991, the AKC recognized the Australian Shepherd breed and on
January 1, 1993, accepted them into the Herding Group.
