Australian Shepherds
American herding breed
Australian Shepherds is the plural of Australian Shepherd, a medium-sized herding dog bred in the American West despite its misleading name.
The breed is known for intelligence, agility, and striking merle coat patterns.
Aussies, as they're commonly called, excel at herding livestock and dog sports but require substantial exercise and mental stimulation: Australian Shepherds get destructive when bored.
