My Aussie can go all day but she can also chill & seems to adapt to our activity level better than this video suggests is possible.
Just found your channel. Recently lost my Aussie to lymphoma. He was only 4. I miss him and our long walks. Watching helps. I love aussies so much I can't think of not having one in my life. I've owned two. Just told my granddaughter to start doing research for our Christmas dog. Its has eased her broken heart and she can move on. Thank you, ill be watching.
I honestly knew nothing about Australian shepherds before we got ours my wife wanted one so bad so I surprised her with one for Mother's Day best decision of my life I absolutely love our Aussie he is so great with our kids especially my daughter he will not leave her side when we go on walks
Blue merle aussie owner here... I've owned GSD's, husky's... on down the line... I've also worked with border collies... what is said here is somewhat, mostly true. I disagree with the intelligence of an aussie. Some aussie's are bred for show, some are bred for intelligence. I live on a small farm ... in a lot of ways the intelligence of my aussie surpasses the intelligence of my German Shepherds... and of course, vice versa. Breeding merle to merle is just a huge "no-no". The aussie is extremely high energy and needs a lot of space to run and to be. A small back yard is not a good place for one. Both GSD's and aussies are awesome family dogs and are very family oriented. BUT... an aussie is more obsessed with people than a GSD. They are both very protective. But an aussie is not content to just lay on a bed in the corner and observe. Aussies are Velcro dogs. Mine lays on my foot anytime I'm not moving so she can feel if I even move slightly... every move I make she wants to be right there with me. I don't mind this sort of behavior, I cherish it. But for some people it can be too much I think. An aussie can and will outsmart you. They will manipulate you in ways you never imagined. Even with facial expressions. They can also tell time. They are extremely loving... the biggest love muffins I've ever seen. But they can also be bullies to other dogs and other animals... possibly humans as well. Aussies would make the perfect dog for any person in a lot of ways... but they are far from being the perfect dog for everyone. Easy to train, yes... but bull headed at times.
So well put! I have two aussies and your comment describes them perfectly! Soooo smart and also in tune with my emotions. If I’m sad they can chill out and also come to check on me! Yes - lots of energy but that just keeps me in shape! I love the snuggles and care I get from them!
@@allisonmarie812 they are the biggest snugglers I've ever seen. 😀
This is a great video! Thanks for highlighting the double merle thing too, happens far too often 🤦🏻♀️
The Australian Shepherd was only truly recognized by the AKC in 1991 they haven't been around and big enough numbers long enough to get recognized as much as the German Shepherds Collies and poodles to say they're not as intelligent as a German Shepherd would be wrong
My Aussie mixes need a TON of exercise. I walk run them 6 miles a day (7 days a week) and take them to the park for a minimum of an hour a day for a game of fetch. If I miss a day, they are nuts. It’s kind of hard to keep up with sometimes. Especially in winter months when my energy levels are low and it is raining a lot. I’m considering getting a treadmill to put them on for days when I am unable to keep up. They can always still go further. I doubt I will ever own another one in the future. But I love them so much and I will work for them to make them happy well-behaved pups.
My Aussie is a sloth who prefers to nap. She has no interest in herding and only barks if there is a reason.
My family and I two years ago accidentally adopted a Aussie-Husky mix
He’s definitely a hand full, but I adore him a lot. He’s a good boy, but his biggest thing is jumping on people no matter what training and exercise we give him. Any tips?
Aussies can be very bull headed. I've had a GSD/Husky mix and I have an aussie. Both breeds can have a tendency to jump on you and it can be difficult to break that habit. I have used different ways to help them avoid doing this... it really depends on the individual dog as to what will work. First thing is to figure out why the jumping occurs... mostly dogs do this when they get excited to see a person. The other reason dogs can do this is because they see themselves as in control... they are alpha. So first thing is to determine that part, why they are doing it. Is it because the dog is excited or because they are asserting themself?
Struggling with my aussie PULLING on the leash terribly. We live in an apartment and im 29 weeks pregnant…..hes SOOOO ENERGETIC.😵💫🫣
"If you are not working them, they are working you." Bingo!! This is it in a nutshell. You have to be one step ahead of them or they will figure out how to get a head of you and you won't like their choices.
my puppy is not merle at all he is very smart as far as tricks and stuff goes. he does listen as long as he is not trying to play with my big dog. all it takes is a loud clap
Instead perpetuating a perhaps flawed study(s) on dog “intelligence” why don’t you comment on your own experience with various breeds. Would hold more value for me
Yeah I mean it’s a generalized statement every different is different so this sounds like bs
By the way I have a 3 month old Aussie puppy
