Australian shepherd puppies for rehoming2

They're just as apt to chase down birds while hunting as they are to play with children in the backyard. Australian Shepherds are known to favor one person in the family over others. Therefore, if you're looking for a family dog, an Aussie may not be the best option. If you are solo, you can rest assured that you'll be your dog's entire life. However, an Aussie can bond with more than one person.

Australian Shepherds are loyal, dependable, easygoing companions. When it comes to their love of play, they never really outgrow the puppy stage. For this reason they are excellent with children — and the more active, the better. But they have a gentle nature that prevents their play from ever getting rough. They require plenty of attention. Being left alone for too long may cause the intelligent, energetic Australian Shepherd to create her own fun—often through destructive behaviors or barking. While an Aussie may be left home alone for four to six hours at a time, crate training may be necessary for the dog's safety. They are loyal to their family and great with kids, but a little protective and wary of strangers. It's important to socialize Aussies while they are young! They are generally easy-going and adaptable, but they need a lot of exercise, as well as mental stimulation. A bored Aussie can become nervous or destructive. With an Aussie's boundless energy, channeling it into something constructive can do wonders for your dog. These dogs bond strongly with their families. Their loyalty with their intelligence and high energy makes them very easy to train. Regardless of the activity, your dog will love doing it with you

Australian shepherds are renowned for their desire to cuddle. Loyal and highly active, these dogs love their owners as much as they love to play.
