Australian Shepherds
The Australian Shepherd will weigh between 40 to 65 pounds when full-grown. Highly energetic, this breed needs lots of room for running, herding and playing. They are not recommended for apartment life due to this. Their medium coat may be straight or wavy. They require occasional brushing but may need more when they shed seasonally. Australian Shepherd puppies are intelligent and easy to train. They have a strong herding instinct, so are not recommended for families with small children and other non-canine pets. The Australian Shepherd is sometimes crossed with the Poodle to create the Aussidoodle.

After World War II, the Australian Shepherd became very popular in the United States, and one reason for this was because of a few Disney movie that was made, featuring this breed of dog in it. These dogs have been used on farms for many years because of their versatility, however, a lot of them are just used as house dogs nowadays. Keep in mind that these dogs do have a lot of energy and a lot of drive. Most of the time, they are not happy unless they have some kind of work to do.
