Known as a sore thumb. Australian Shepherd

Despite its name, the Aussie, as it is also known for short and affectionate, comes from the USA, where it was bred as a herding dog. It comes in countless colors and there are hardly two dogs that are alike. His attractiveness made him a popular family dog in Germany too. But an Aussie, like the Border Collie, is not suitable for being a sofa dog. He demands work to be a happy dog.
