The Australian Shepherds' origins stem from the companions of Basque herdsmen of Spain and Andorra who settled in Australia to raise sheep. These intelligent, faithful little blue dogs are now found throughout the world and are famous for their abilities in controlling all kinds of livestock, including cattle. This dog requires minimal grooming - but lots of exercise and makes an exceptional farm dog or family pet. Australian shepherds, bred for herding and guarding livestock, arrived in the United States by way of Australia in the 19th century, although they may have originated in Spain. Australian shepherds, although reserved with strangers, are loyal, affectionate, and playful dogs that are good with children if socialized with them early. Australian shepherds excel in herding, obedience, and agility trials. The Australian shepherd's outer coat is moderately coarse; the undercoat is soft and thick. Coat color is blue merle, red merle, black, or red, with or without white markings or tan (copper) points. The male has a more pronounced mane than the female. Weekly brushing and combing are required, especially during spring shedding. The Australian shepherd must be kept busy with sheepdog trials, agility sports, and/or long runs.
