Australian Shepherds - General Description
Australian Shepherds are working dogs that have strong working and guarding instincts. The Australian Shepherd is well balanced, and a rather strong dog. The strong head is in proportion to the body. The dog displays intelligence and attentive attitude. The almond-shaped eyes are brown, blue, or amber. The triangular ears are set high on the dog's head. The teeth should meet in a scissors bite. The tapering muzzle is rounded at the tip. The neck is slightly arched and fits well into the dog's shoulders. The chest is deep. The Australian Shepherd's legs are strong and straight. The feet are oval and compact.

Australian Shepherds - Temperamental Traits
Loyalty, courage and an easygoing nature characterize the Australian Shepherd's temperament. They do well with children, as they adore playing and goofing around. Naturally suspicious of strangers, Australian Shepherds need proper socialization when they are puppies. Australian Shepherds are not dog aggressive, and unlike some other breeds, do not bark at livestock when working.
