Australian Shepherd
Australian Shepherds (40-65 pounds) are intelligent, energetic, and loyal, ideal for active owners. They’re great with kids when trained but may herd toddlers. High energy demands 2+ hours daily of exercise (agility, hiking); their medium coat needs regular brushing.
Feed 2-3 cups daily of Purina Pro Plan Performance Sport 30/20 Formula, with 30% protein to fuel their active lifestyle. Monitor portions to maintain agility. Suited for both indoor and outdoor living with space, they’re not for apartments or inactive owners.
Training prevents nipping and boredom-driven mischief. Perfect for dynamic households or farms seeking a smart, driven dog for work or play.
