Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (short coat). Panda is an adorable, 1-year-old herding-type pup—maybe an Aussie, maybe a Collie, or maybe a perfect mix of both! One thing is certain: he’s super smart and eager to learn. Panda loves other dogs and has an outgoing, energetic personality that makes him a joy to be around. We’re still unsure how he feels about cats. With his active nature, Panda would thrive in a home with sturdy, active people who are ready for adventures, playtime, and continued training. He’s a bright, happy boy looking for a family to keep up with his enthusiasm and give him the love he deserves.

Overview:
The Australian Shepherd, despite its name, actually originated in the western United States during the 19th century, bred primarily for herding livestock on ranches. These striking dogs are medium-sized with a sturdy build, often sporting captivating merle coats (blue or red) and piercing blue, amber, or marbled eyes, sometimes with two different colors (heterochromia). Known for their exceptional intelligence and high energy, Aussies possess a strong work drive and thrive on having a "job" to do, whether it's agility, obedience, or extensive exercise. Their temperament is generally loyal, affectionate, and good-natured with their families, though they can be reserved with strangers. Due to their high exercise requirements and need for mental stimulation, they are best suited for active families or individuals with ample outdoor space and a commitment to training; apartment living is generally not ideal. Potential owners should also be aware of common health concerns like hip and elbow dysplasia and certain eye conditions, including Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) and Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA).
