The detail
Despite the name, the Aussie was developed on American ranches to move livestock all day, so it is smart, quick and happiest with a job. Loyal to its family and often reserved with strangers, it suits owners who want an active partner.
What to weigh
An under-worked Aussie invents jobs, such as herding children, barking at movement or chewing. They need daily exercise and training, and some can be wary of strangers without steady socialization.
