Research The Breed Before You Buy


Being prepared for your new commitment is very important. If you have previously owned an Aussie you know what that entails, if not I suggest doing some research before purchasing your new companion as it is a life long commitment. Australian Shepherds are a loving, highly intelligent, loyal breed, they are a herding breed which as puppies have herding instinct, and nip and/or bite frequently. Consistent training must be provided along with ample exercise physically and mentally.

I recommend enrolling your puppy in puppy classes with in two weeks of bringing your puppy home. Aussies are an active, intelligent, herding breed that have been bred to have a job. You must be able to provide adequate activity and exercise. Without this your puppy can become bored and a bored puppy leads to problems.

​This breed is highly intelligent and learns quickly which makes them fun to train. Venues your Aussie may enjoy: Agility, dock diving, rally, fast cat, obedience, barn hunt, fly ball, and more...I encourage puppy owners to explore these fun activities with your amazing puppy.
Finding a club near you is a great option also.
Other fun accomplishments you can do with your puppy are getting different titles like CGC (canine good citizen), trick dog titles (there are four different levels). All of this information can be found on the AKC website.

Please do your research about the breed before making your decision
