#13 Australian Shepherds are used in many areas, but are also popular as pure family dogs:
The Australian Shepherd not only herds sheep, ducks, and cattle but also loves to accompany horses on horseback rides. Therefore, he enjoys great popularity in the western riding scene.
Due to its dense undercoat, the Aussie is not affected by moisture or cold. Since he is a proverbial workhorse, he is well suited as a herding or farm dog.
The Australian Shepherd is a dog for families with children in which an active and sporty lifestyle is the order of the day.
The breed is suitable as a companion dog for the blind and deaf.
The Australian Shepherd can also be trained as a rescue, tracking, drug, or therapy dog.
However, the Australian Shepherd is not the perfect beginner's dog. It is best to bring some experience in dog training with you if you want to move this breed into your home.
#14 Grooming an Australian Shepherd is a bit more involved than that of less shedding dog breeds:
To keep the coat from matting, you should brush the Aussie several times a week.
Be aware that an Australian Shepherd is one of those dog breeds that shed a lot.
If you are allergic, we, unfortunately, cannot recommend the Australian Shepherd Dog at all.
