Aussie
Yes, we are talking about the Australian Shepherd dog, or “Aussie” as it is also known. We have also mentioned some interesting facts about this dog breed but we also felt we had not honored these majestic dogs properly.
So here we are again with a dog that truly represents in our hearts. Because this high-stamina guardian and herding dog is pretty worth it.
Some Things to Remember
Let´s remember that the Australian Shepherd dog is a working, smart, and exuberant type of dog. Everything about this majestic dog is strong and powerful. They are highly devoted to their people. The closer they can get to you, the better it is.
If you are planning on getting an Aussie to simply leave him to himself in a backyard, you should get yourself another breed. This one will fight to be on the photo album.
How Much to Have an Aussie at Home?
If you want to get your arms around these cuties, you can do by a price that goes from $300 to $600. As usual, we recommend you get your puppies from certified and responsible breeders that can guarantee a pure line with no genetic abnormalities.
Puppies born in backyards or mills cannot give you this guarantee. Either way, your best option is to adopt a pooch and help a homeless one get a loving home.
