<h1>The history of the Australian Shepherd</h1>
Although this dog has Australia in its name, it actually originated in the United States and was mainly bred in the United States, and the ancestor of the Australian dog is the Collie dog, which originated in France and the Basco region of Spain. At that time, these dogs were mostly in the western United States, responsible for helping people herd sheep. It is called the Australian Shepherd because of its association with the Basque Shepherd, which entered the United States from Australia in the 18th century.
Originally known only in the United States, the Australian Shepherd was beloved in the Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada and other high-altitude areas. But after World War II, the United States made a series of Western movies, including Australian Shepherds, coupled with the popularity of cowboy competition, they gradually became the world's most famous dogs. It was only in 1991 that the Australian Kennel Club recognized the breed and focused on breeding small breeds of Australian Shepherds. Today's Australian Shepherds rarely continue to help people herd, but they are widely praised for their high degree of obedience, and shine in anti-drug, search and rescue, blind guidance and other work.
<h1>3. Is the Australian Shepherd easy to keep? </h1>
Australian Shepherd hair changes according to the season, so owners do not need to trim their dog's hair too much. However, in the spring, they will begin to lose their hair, at this time it is best for the owner to comb the dog's hair once a day, and clean the hair while avoiding hair knots. Dog hair can not absorb too much rain on rainy days, so the frequency of bathing does not need to be too high.
For most shepherds, exercise is essential, and the amount of exercise in Australian Shepherds is almost the same as that of side shepherds, so it is not suitable for busy owners. If the dog is not trained, it may catch up with the car or small animals, so the owner should wear a leash when taking the dog out for sports, otherwise it will quickly disappear under your eyes.
The Australian Shepherd is very clever, even if the puppy is thrown into the flock, it will run around the flock and master how to drive the sheep. So having an Australian Shepherd will never get you bored, and the owner can train the dog to learn new instructions. Do you prefer a border herder or an Australian Shepherd?
