Thank you for supporting the creative commons movement !! The Australian Shepherd is a breed of dog for herding that was developed on ranches in the Western United States. Despite its name, the breed, commonly known as an Australian "Aussie" did not originate in Australia, originated in USA. Its official name is Australian Shepherd. The general appearance of the breed is highly variable depending on the insistence of the particular line. As with many working breeds that are also shown in the ring, there are differences of opinion among breeders look ideal Australian Shepherd. In addition, the breed can be split into two distinct lines - working and show dogs. Working dogs tend to have less fur, and can be small, medium or large bone structures, while the servants according to the breed standard, the lines tend to have fuller coat whiter and a structure more heavy bone. The Australian Shepherd is a medium-sized breed of solid build. The standard requires that the Australian Shepherd should be between 18 to 23 inches at the withers, with females being 18-21 inches and males measuring 21-23 inches. There is a variety in the color of the eyes of the Aussies. A famous nickname for this breed was "ghost dog eyes." The eyes can be any color or shade of brown or blue, can have two different colored eyes, or even have bicolor or "split eyes" (for example, half-brown, half-blue eye), which appear be linked to the Merle coloration. Merle eyes can also occur, where one color is mixed and swirled with another. Any combination of eye color is acceptable in the breed standard as long as the eyes are healthy. Overall black Australians (bicolor or tricolor) tend to have brown eyes, while red (bicolor or tricolor Australians) tend to have amber eyes, though these Aussies may also carry the gene for blue eyes. The Australian Shepherd is intelligent, learns quickly, and loves to play. This means that a bored, neglected, not exercised Aussie tends to invent their own games, activities and jobs, that their owners might seem hyperactivity: for example, an Aussie may go from being at rest to running at full speed giving " laps "around the house before returning to rest. Without something to amuse, Aussies often become destructive. The Australian Shepherd has a reputation as a highly intelligent and versatile stock dog with a range of work styles. In good working Aussie is quick, thoughtful and easy with their actions. The ability of the breed to adapt to the situation and think for itself makes it an excellent worker. For this reason, the Australian is often chosen to work unusual livestock such as buffalo, ducks, geese, and commercially raised rabbits. The Australian Shepherd, despite being a great dog for a family with lots of time, can be very destructive if left alone, or in small spaces. They are known for digging holes, breaking the grass and chewing anything in sight if it is disturbed. These dogs require a minimum of 20-30 minutes of intense play and exercise, plus constant attention. Despite its name, it is not native to Australia, but the Basque Country and would have developed in North America. The Basques, pastoral people had dogs much like the Australian Shepherd, for hundreds of years. Many Basques have emigrated to other areas in search of employment, taking their dogs with them. Some went to Australia, a country known for its sheep farming and wool production. The skills of these pastors and their dogs were very popular there. To the 1900s, some emmigrés from Australia to the United States (including California ) taking with them their dogs and sheep. American farmers were then developed this race, immediately appreciated for its agility. As this dog came from Australia, they named australian sheperd dog (or australian shepherd ), often abbreviated as aussie as we call him today. The race returns to France in the 1980s and the canine central company recognizes its provisional standard in 1996 and officially in 2007. Nowadays, this is a dog that is still widely used in the United States for herding, including sheep. In France, the race is growing and in 2000 there were over 1700 people registered.
