Australian Shepherd

The Australian Shepherd is a medium dog created to work the flocks of ewes in a habitat that stops many of us could be described like hostile. One says that their natural instincts allow him to shepherd the same ewes that cattle, kids or until geese.

This race was created in Australia. It is the European result of the crossings of shepherds and other dogs.

Two lineages of this race exist. The one that are used in Australia like shepherd and the other that is possibly the one that we see in the canine competitions. Of the true shepherd it olvídese that dog is neither for apartment nor for house. That dog corresponds in the Australian plains where possibly neither you nor we pruned to survive.

The lineage of the competitions more is calmed and docile. This he is the one that could perhaps be considered for mascot. It is a very intelligent dog, although it is necessary to have patience and persistence with because it does not like to be taught. Once the learning becomes a work task, these dogs nothing else that think about their obligations, are when they really demonstrate his mental aptitude. Very affectionate with its master, of who demand attention, if it is ignored for a long time is put foolish.

Good with the children of the house whenever they behave with the dog and to the dog it has taught him well to deal with the children and not to shepherd them as if they were ewes. It presents/displays resemblance behavior with the other mascots of the house. This race is not adapted for the life in apartment, a house with surrounded patio would be far better. It needs daily exercise.
