Winston is a Red Merle Australian Shepherd from a breeder in South Australia. He is a beautiful looking dog that gets lots of attention with pats when he is out and about. Winston is very playful and friendly and always wants love from the owner. He loves his walks and runs in the park but at the same time enjoys a pat and a cuddle on your lap. He will be a loyal companion, bringing endless joy and warmth to your household. I am happy to work with anyone that is keen to meet Winston and I sincerely hope to find a loving and stable owner who can provide him with ample love and the attention he needs.

Australian Shepherd – Maylands

We are regrettably selling and finding a new home for our beloved Marvel who is a 1 and a half yr old Aussie Shepherd. Have owned him since he was a pup and due to relocating our home to an apartment we sadly have to find him a new home. We will be very careful as to who he is sold to as we want him to have the best life possible and right now we are unable to provide that for him. He is a purebred pedigree certified Aussie Shepherd, registered with the Australian National Kennel Council and was bought from a very reputable breeder here in WA last year. He is wormed, microchipped, and vaccinated. He will be on the Limited Register. Dog West WA (Which means not for breeding or showing). But can compete in all other discipline’s obedience, herding etc. He is due for his desexing which should be done at the earliest convenience now that he is fully grown. We have all required paperwork. DAMS testing was completed as a pup and paperwork can also be provided. He has a great personality and nature and would suit a family with an active lifestyle. Orignally purchased for over $5000.

The Ultimate Australian Shepherd Guide

About Australian Shepherd

Australian Shepherds were originally bred as all-purpose herding and farm dogs. Nicknamed the “Aussie,” these medium-sized dogs are smart, obedient, and exhibit incredible agility. They flourish in environments where they are given a sense of purpose.

Lifespan

13 to 15 years

Grooming

Grooming

Brush their coats 1 – 2 times each week to remove dead hair.

Origins

Despite their name, the Australian Shepherd hails from the Western United States. These dogs evolved from a breed introduced by the Basque people from Western Europe.

When the Basque people migrated to the U.S., they brought their dogs along. American ranchers began raising and breeding these dogs.

The ranchers quickly realised these dogs thrived in high altitudes. As a result, they utilised them in the Rocky Mountains and high plains where they pastured cattle.

Over time, the breed’s popularity surged, thanks to television series, Western movies, and rodeos that gained fame after World War II.

Key Characteristics Of Australian Shepherds

Are Australian Shepherds Family-Friendly?

Yes, Australian Shepherds make loyal and easy-going companions.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Australian Shepherds may suffer from:

Elbow Dysplasia

This is a condition common among large-breeds

Collie Eye Anomaly

A genetic disorder causing abnormal development of the eye, which can lead to vision problems or blindness.

Deafness

Progressive Retinal Atrophy

Distichiasis

A condition where eyelashes grow abnormally from the gland openings in the eyelids, often causing irritation or injury to the eye.

Nature / Temperament

Australian Shepherds, originally bred as all-purpose herding and farm dogs, exhibit intelligence, obedience, and agility. They thrive when given a sense of purpose.

They are smart and dependable, flourishing on human interaction. These dogs excel when engaged with their owners through activities like walking, running, or playing.

Suitable Environment

Australian Shepherds, with their history as sheep herders, love open spaces.

Other Considerations

  • Provide enough exercise and mental stimulation to prevent destructive behaviour.
  • They are protective and will bark at suspicious sights.
  • These dogs shed moderately.
  • They enjoy their owner’s company and like sticking close to their human pack but can be aloof with strangers.

How can I take good care of my Australian Shepherd?

Nutrition

Australian Shepherds thrive on dry dog food, which helps keep their teeth clean by scraping off plaque.

The amount of food depends on their age and size. For instance, adult Australian Shepherds weighing between 15 – 27 kgs need 3 – 4 cups of dry dog food daily.

Grooming

Australian Shepherds possess thick coats of medium length, requiring routine grooming to stay healthy and comfortable.

They shed more during Spring, necessitating more frequent brushing during this time.

Exercise

Australian Shepherds are active dogs with strong herding instincts. They need plenty of exercise and stimulation.

Take them for long walks, play fetch, or teach them to play fly-ball. Alternatively, provide them with puzzle toys to keep them engaged.

Training

Australian Shepherds are fantastic dogs to train due to their intelligence. They pick up commands quickly and respond well to reward-based training techniques like clicker training.

Always keep your Australian Shepherd on a leash. Their herding instincts are never far from the surface.

This is general information and should not be relied on for adopting or purchasing advice.

Most Asked Australian Shepherd Questions

These dogs are sturdily-built and of medium size. They also have many coat colours, bobbed tails and light-coloured eyes. Their coats are moderately long and can be wavy or straight.

Australian Shepherds can make brilliant pets. But, they are not suited for all families. They have high energy levels, which makes them ideal for active families with larger yards.

Australian Shepherds for sale cost from $500 to $2500 approximately. If buying a puppy, try and spend some time with its parents. This way, you can gauge the puppy’s temperament. Make sure you buy only from a recognised breeder.

Like any other herding breed, Australian Shepherds are very protective of their flock. Any perceived invasion or threat will be met with suspicion and at times, aggression.

Their protective instincts will have them barking at intruders. They also protect their owners and family members even when in a public area.

Australian shepherds are able to withstand a variety of climates. Their thick double coats helps them to be well-insulated from both heat and cold.

The Australian Shepherd is not inclined to excessive barking. Some of the reasons that may cause them to bark are stress, isolation, anxiety and boredom.
