About Australian ShepherdsThe Australian shepherd is a medium-sized, athletic working dog. Although it is called "Australian," the breed is thought to have originated in the United States, mostly in the Western States. Breed aficionados believe this collie/shepherd-type dog may have been imported with sheep from Australia or workers from Australia. The breed is extremely agile, intelligent, loyal and hard-working. Though known as a herding dog, the Aussie has a talent for all types of athletic activities. They are ubiquitous on the rodeo circuit and commonly associated with the cowboy lifestyle. However, the breed also makes an excellent companion dog for medium to high-energy owners.

Basque people from the Pyrenees of northeastern Spain/southwestern France came to the American West in the mid-19th century to herd sheep and brought dogs with them. The name "Australian shepherd" may have reflected those who came to the U.S. after first working in Australia or the origin of the herds of sheep, but this is not clear. These dogs are not registered in Australia as a native breed. American ranchers raised and bred the dogs as livestock herders and farm workers. They do well at high altitudes such as in the Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada, and high plains where ranchers pastured their livestock. As Western movies, television series, and rodeos were popular after World War II, the breed became well known. Australian Shepherd enthusiasts and breeders have worked hard to keep the breed true to its heritage. Australian Shepherds were first recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1991. Miniature Australian shepherds were bred and the breed was accepted in 2012 as Miniature American Shepherds by the American Kennel Club. There is no such thing as a toy Miniature American Shepherd, it is not recognized by the AKC.

What is the rarest Aussie coat color?Solid black and red coats are the least common coats among Aussie dogs, with solid red being the absolute rarest. The red-colored gene is recessive in dogs, meaning red fur must be present in both parents to make a red-colored pup.
Whats the difference between red tri and Red Merle Australian shepherd?What does “tri” mean, and how do Red Tri Australian Shepherds get their colors? “Tri” refers to three solid colors: red, white and copper/golden. This coloring is different from “merle” coats which may be red, but have some spots with a mottled appearance.
Do Red Merle Aussies shed?As we've mentioned, Australian Shepherds do shed considerably. They are a double-coated breed, so you can expect a healthy amount of year-round dog fur left in your home, and on your clothes. Because they are double-coated, they also have two periods of time each year where their fur sheds more considerably.
