HISTORY OF AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD

The Australian Shepherd is a medium-sized robust dog that belongs to the Pastoral Group. He is bred to herd sheep, compete in the show ring, and serve as a companion dog. This dog breed is also known as the Aussie, Aussie Shepherd, and Australian Sheepdog. The Australian Sheepdog, as a herding dog, is intelligent and very easy to train. He could be quite aggressive when working with livestock, but he is friendly and gentle with children. Naturally protective and loyal, the Australian Shepherd is an effective watchdog. The Australian Shepherd dog is active and energetic, so he needs regular exercises to burn off his excess energy and stimulate his mind. The Australian Shepherd’s waterproof double coat needs weekly brushing. During the shedding season, he will need to be brushed regularly to remove copious dead hair. 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. He has a powerful neck, medium triangular ears, and firm jaws. Male Australian Shepherds stand 51 to 58 centimetres at the withers and weighs 18–25 to 32 kilos. Female Australian Shepherds measure tall 46 to 54 centimetres and weigh between 16 to 25 kilos

About Australian Shepherd

The Australian Shepherd’s origin is unclear, and one of the reasons is his confusing name. This herdingbreed is believed to have been dveloped in the United States. Others claim that his ancestors are Spanish herding dogs that went to Australia with Basque shepherds. Later on, the shepherds moved to America together with these dogs. However, scientific evidence proves this theory otherwise. The Australian Shepherd breed is descended from dogs that came to America through the Bering Land Bridge. Other Australian Shepherd dog breed’s origin theories suggest that he may have been descended from the Pyrenean Shepherd. Other possible ancestors of the Australian Sheepdog include the Australian Long-haired and Bobtailed Collie types of dogs. The German Sheepdog, also known as the German Koolie, along with the herding dogs brought by Basque shepherds, were believed to be used to develop the breed as well. The Australian Shepherd is a versatile and highly energetic dog capable of doing various tasks on farms and ranches. He was used to herd livestock, round up cattle, and load horses into trailers and stalls. In addition, his sturdy physique works well in high altitudes and plains, herding livestock in rocky and hilly terrains. The Australian Sheepdog’s name has gone through many changes. He was called Spanish Shepherd, Pastor Dog, New Mexican Shepherd, Blue Heeler, California Shepherd, and Bobtail. The Australian Shepherd turned from a simple farm and ranch dog into a fun, entertaining performer after World War II. The breed was featured in horse shows, rodeos, film, and television. Two Australian Shepherds called Shorty and Queenie were trained by Jay Sisler to carry out his performing-dog act between the 1950s and 1960s. These dogs appeared in various venues, from Madison Square Garden to the Calgary Stampede.

OUR STORY

Thank you for visiting our website. I am called Hunter Lukas. The Hunter’s family are the owners of Newdawn 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.
