Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (long coat). Please contact Jetta (Jetta.elliottatt) for more information about this pet. A year old male Australian Shepherd Frank is a wonderful dog. Frank weighs 68 pounds. He is a House dog that he is good outside as well. I am fostering him on a farm with no fence and he stays right at the yard. He prefers to be in the house and would love to sleep on my bed, but I don’t allow it. He knows his sit command and puts his paw up for a shake every time you say good boy. He is being fostered in Harrison, Arkansas for Ozark Homeward Bound animal rescue. Frank would be brought to you via the rescue network transport. Please inquire at jetta.elliottatt.

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).
