Smart Dogs:

There are plenty of reasons to get an Australian Shepherd, and our first reason is due to their intelligence. Other than their super cute looks, Australian Shepherds have been considered one of the smartest breeds of dogs and their actions prove it. Australian Shepherds are constantly curious, and they will always come to see what you are doing. Aussies are also very energetic so be sure to have plenty of activities for them to do. Activities such as fetching the mail, and doing tricks can keep them busy as well as help their creativity blossom. Teaching them these tricks at a very young age will help with their growth and train them to become helpful as they get older. Aussies were originally herder dogs, so don’t be afraid to overwork them since they love it! 

Being Active With Your Dog!:

They love going on hikes and exploring new places. Take this as an opportunity to become more active yourself! Spend some time playing catch with them down at a dog beach! Although those are two great reasons to get an Australian Shepherd, there's one more that tops them all. Loyalty.
