The Australian Shepherd

The Australian Shepherd is a balanced dog, confident and perfectly harmless. Except when it is endangered, or is psychologically unstable because the environment does not suit him.

It will be alert, docile and very courageous. It has a strong instinct of anticipation: all these features make it an excellent dog to prevent, by cons do not expect him in pure defense.

To the extent that the Australian Shepherd begins to spread, it is a victim of its success. I advise you to know the minimum characteristics of the breed and choose your breeder.

Some breeders prefer dogs called beauty lines, others prefer working lines on herd. It will require you to ask questions.

Breeders strive to produce good and beautiful dogs. You should know what you expect of your future dog. A working line is the minimum to the dog sport as Agility, Canicross and ideal for the Australian Shepherd is the Herd. The company line requires less activity. The beauty of line is very good family pet.

We must say the truth. If you want an Australian Shepherd of excellence, it will direct you to the farms that adhere to the French Club Australian Shepherd. Warning this breed is fashionable! and many scammers abuse. This dog is very active, with a strong character, who can not stand the loneliness, and that requires serious education and proper socialization.

All played between 3 and 12 weeks, to make your puppy a sociable animal. The choice of the breeder is essential. Rehabilitation will be very difficult this race.

A mother, too young or poorly socialized, will fail to properly educate her puppies. So I urge you to be vigilant, the minimum age to bring out a bitch is in the third year of heat. Exceptionally in the second year, but prefer three years for the mother of your puppy.

The SPA is currently full of Australian Shepherds abandoned due to hypersensitivity or hyperactivity!

Behavioral problems often have two related causes: a bad start in breeding and inadequate education.

Sorry to start this guide by a warning.

The Australian Shepherd has a healthy mind in a healthy body. He is confident, responsive, continuously available. He exercises with equal talent work on herd or his family dog ​​function and I maintain it can make a very good dog to prevent.

At home, learning the hierarchy and respect must be done at a young age. At eight weeks, you will have to start his education.

It has to remain firm but fair. The Australian Shepherd has quickly and asks only to learn.

Environment matters a lot, there must find a balance.

Demanding emotionally, the Australian Shepherd loves being sought. He loves to play, loves to caress, enjoy being involved. He likes to have a role to play to feel part of the family in itself.

It is very important to teach your child the calming positions with an Australian Shepherd. Your child can take better advantage of its relationship with the dog, if he knows the language. The Australian Shepherd is very dynamic, the game is his passion and he will therefore know how to say "stop".

Apartment life is poorly suited to the Australian Shepherd. This is not a solitary it is a dynamic dog and its origins are the campaign. Now, if you often go out without you satisfied with the tour of the house, he can live in an apartment. Before you leave it alone, it will take a long apprenticeship, progressive. It will be essential that it is a derivation, or occupation if you want better. From experience, I urge you not to prolong the moments where he will remain alone, as even educated it will be very hard psychologically for him.

An Australian Shepherd pavilion will not flourish if it is still fragmented in the garden. He needs to take long walks and to be physically active. You need at least twice a week for an hour walk in parks and forests or across country. Otherwise go to club Agility make or introduce yourself to Canicross see the herd.

The Australian Shepherd is known for its versatility, its intelligence and appreciated for its loyalty to its owner. The characteristics of the breed argue in education.

Her dress is a beautiful Australian Shepherd dog. Remember, however, that there remains a sheepdog, a sport par excellence, a flock worker. family dog ​​he agrees, but it has its specific needs, "my master I have to move."

Naturally obedient, he is listening to his master his skills education and training are particularly good. It will nevertheless you invest in his education very early.

The Australian Shepherd required an education calm and righteous. There are two golden rules in dog training: you must not shout, you should not touch the dog. The education section of this guide will be invaluable.

Come to the crucial point is a sensitive dog, it does not flourish in a climate of brutality, or loneliness, it can quickly become fearful.

balanced dog par excellence, it will be disoriented in a climate of shouting and angry and may develop fear.

But too much indulgence should not him. Flexibility and a minimum firmness will make a happy living animal, vigilant and conscientious, but also thoughtful. In short it can be mounted fearful and sometimes you have to stop him because he always wants to play and run.
