About Australian Shepherd

Despite the name, Australian Shepherds were actually developed in the western United States to herd livestock on ranches. The 'Australian' likely refers to the Australian sheep their owners worked with. Aussies are incredibly intelligent, versatile working dogs that excel in agility, herding trials, and as active family companions. They need a job to do and significant daily exercise to prevent boredom-driven behaviour.

Size: Medium breed, 18-30kg adult weightActivity: Very High

Dietary Needs

High-protein, medium-to-large breed formulas fuel their intense activity level. Active and working Australian Shepherds may need performance diets with higher fat content for sustained energy. Their beautiful double coat benefits from omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, especially during heavy shedding seasons. Joint support ingredients help maintain mobility for their athletic lifestyle.

Common health concerns: Hip dysplasia, epilepsy, cataracts, MDR1 drug sensitivity, autoimmune conditions
