HISTORY OF AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD

Despite his name this is an American born breed. The Australian Shepherd was originally developed to herd livestock for ranchers and farmers in the western U.S., and some modern day Aussies still hold that job. There are many theories on which breeds were used to create the Australian Shepherd. It’s likely that the Aussie’s ancestors include collie and shepherd type dogs that were imported with shipments of sheep from Australia during the 1840s hence the name. Breeders strove to enhance their herding ability and create a dog who was versatile, hard working, and intelligent. The breed enjoyed a popularity boom in the post World War II years that went hand in hand with a renewed interest in Western style horseback riding. Crowds at rodeos or horse shows and audiences of western movies or TV shows were wowed by the athletic dogs they saw working alongside the cowboys. Despite the popular interest, the breed wasn’t recognized by the American Kennel Club until 1993. Today, the Australian Shepherd remains the same eye catching, energetic, clever dog that proved so useful to ranchers and farmers in the old West. He is loved by many and enjoys his life as a family companion, protector, and herding dog. Slightly longer than he is tall, the Australian Shepherd stands 20 to 23 inches tall at the shoulder for males, 18 to 21 inches for females. On average, males weigh between 50 and 65 pounds, females 40 to 55 pounds.

About Australian Shepherd

Watching an Australian Shepherd round up a flock of sheep is a beautiful sight. With sure and athletic movement he directs the flock using nips, barks and eye a penetrating stare that clearly says “I am in charge.” Intelligent hard working and versatile the Aussie is a no nonsense dog who thrives in a home where his brains and energy are put to good use. You don’t have to keep a flock of sheep if you live with an Aussie although it doesn’t hurt but you do have to keep him busy. He is a high energy dog who doesn’t know the meaning of couch potato and wouldn’t approve of it if he did. Because he is got energy to burn he needs plenty of exercise a walk around the neighborhood won’t cut it and at least a small yard to help him work out his ya yas. Lacking a job to do he becomes bored, destructive and loud. Or he might invent his own job herding the kids either yours or the neighbors chasing cars or other animals or taking your house apart. If you don’t have the time or energy to train and exercise the Aussie on a daily basis he is not the breed for you. But if you are interested in competitive dog sports the Aussie is the one.

He is also successful in such canine careers as guide dog, hearing dog, assistance dog, police dog and search and rescue work.

OUR STORY

Thank you for visiting our website. I am called Richard Henderson. The Richard’s family are the owners of Majestic Australian Shepherd. We have been breeding this lovely breed dogs since 2013. My wife and I are pet lovers so we took up the initiative to breed these lovely dog breed to satisfy the needs of families who will want to own or add a new member to their family. My knowledge about the Australian Shepherds has grown as the years go by as they are a dog breed that are very smart and make us to learn new things everyday. My history with owning a puppy goes right back to my Christmas holidays when I was 10 years old. My parents bought me a lovely Australian Shepherds puppy which I named Rosie. Rosie gave me a lot of childhood memories when I was growing as a teen. She was more than a best friend to me. She was so lovely and friendly. Each time I got angry back then about something, Rosie was always there to console me and make me smile again. I always thought she could talk as she understood me so much. I always speak to her at times hoping she will respond. Everywhere I went to, Rosie was with me. I met my wife in college. We were very good friends back then. She loved Rosie until she insisted her parents should get her a Australian Shepherds puppy. That was how our love for this Intelligent dog breed grew up. Our dogs use to play together. Unfortunately in our later years at college, I lost my lovely puppy Rosie. We grew up loving each other so much and loving this dog breed. Later on, we got married and with our love for Australian Shepherds. We decided to breed and raise this dog breed and why not educate puppy lovers about the importance of owning a Australian Shepherds. Fast forward to today, my wife and I raise our 3 kids and breed the Puppies on our 3 acres of land where our puppies have enough space to play around. My family and I are dedicated to help everyone own the perfect, healthy puppy for their home.
