Australian Shepherd: A Breed Guide

Despite the breed’s name, Australian shepherds are not actually from down under. But, they do have strong herding instincts. What can potential owners of an Aussie expect from this energetic and loyal breed?The Australian shepherd originated in Europe. Basque shepherds, people who lived in an area ranging from northeastern Spain to southwestern France, brought dogs with them to the United States, according to The Spruce Pets. These shepherds may have spent time in Australia, but the breed and name we know today was developed in the United States, beginning in the late 1800s.
