The Australian Shepherd is a medium-sized, energetic working dog known for intelligence, loyalty and a strong herding instinct; typically alert, affectionate with family and happiest with plenty of mental and physical activity. They are generally about 46–58 cm at the shoulder and require regular exercise, training and grooming to keep their coat and mind in good order. Prospective owners should consider whether they have the space and time for long walks, play, dog sports or farm work, and be prepared for consistent training and socialisation to channel their energy positively.
