Brief Overview of the Breed:

Australian Shepherds have it ALL; Aussies have Intelligence, Athleticism, Good Looks (Color Variations for Coat & Eye Color), Incredible Personalities, Varying Energy Levels && OVERALL, are a Great breed for the WHOLE family!

There are Calm Ones, Energetic Ones, Blue Ones, Red Ones, Black Ones, Little Ones, Medium Ones, Big Ones, Fluffy Ones (Show Coats), Not So Fluffy Ones (Working Coats), etc. We believe this is the best breed because the Variety is so vast that its Almost impossible to not find what you are looking for!

Despite being an Amazing breed it is still best to LEARN about the breed & be Positive an Australian Shepherd is Right for You!

Example; Many, if not all, Australian Shepherds are Naturally Apprehensive towards Strange People and/or Strange Animals, they Instinctively want to Protect their Herd/Family -- it is what they are Bred to do. For Many Aussies Trust Must be Earned by Strange People/Animals.

The Mini/Toy Australian Shepherd is just like the standard size of this breed but in an adorable, more Compact package.

Mini & Toy Aussies are extremely smart & love the opportunity to be a Working part of the household. They can be trained to do many tasks, such as being a running or hiking companion, helping with laundry, cleaning up toys, opening doors, turning on/off lights, doing yoga with you, being emotional support dogs & so much MORE!

They are high-spirited, strong, determined dogs with average exercise requirements. They are eager and often tenacious players of more intensive activities, like jogging or hiking.

Overall, these dogs can adapt pretty well to living in small dwellings (like a trailer or an apartment) as long as their exercise needs are met both PHYSICALLY and MENTALLY (ex. Daily walk/jog, Plus mind stimulation through tasks or games).

**Keep in mind, that Boredom is the MAIN reason for Several unwanted behavioral patterns (ex. destructiveness, hyperactivity, unreasonable barking).​ So, getting a dog that has a Higher Drive than You & Your Family can Maintain WILL lead to Issues. -- Fear & Insecurity can, also, lead to unwanted behavioral patterns.

That being said, as You look for a puppy/dog I Strongly Recommend asking every breeder About Each Puppy’s ENERGY Level, DRIVE LEVELS (Prey, Pack, Fight & Flight) and their TEMPERAMENT (“personality”) because Overall, Personality, Energy Levels & Drives will impact your Life more than the way they look.

You grow to love any of them (usually before you even get them lol) but when their Personality & their Energy Level Matches yours & your family’s it is just Perfect!! 🥰

I personally wish the breeders I spoke with, when I first started, Guided me a bit as far as Each Puppy’s Energy Level, Personality & Drives when I was looking, because I would have have chosen differently for MY family & Our LIFESTYLE.

It makes it hard when you aren’t as active as your dog wants to be Or when you are More active than your dog wants to be.

...Again, Boredom Easily occurs in Higher Drive & Higher Energy dogs who are Not being Stimulated Mentally & Physically to the Extent they Need & it is the Main reason for destructive & unwanted behavior.

We don’t want you to feel like we are telling you to disregard what you are looking for; we just want to make sure your lifestyle & dog You Choose are Compatible!..

...& We want you to find Exactly what You are Looking for & More! We want You to AVOID what we went through. Read About Us!
