Someday, i hope to have an Aussie, blue merle specifically. Despite its name, the Australian Shepherd was bred in the 20th-century United States for herding sheep. The Australian Sheepdog is an obedient shepherd, companion, or service dog. It is good with children & other dogs, suited to urban living, able to tolerate cold, and easy to train. The thick ruff requires regular maintenance.
