Publisher's Synopsis
A guide to what makes Australian Shepherds such wonderful family pets and why teacup Australian Shepherds are truly unique. Australian Shepherds are highly intelligent and easily trained. Due to their inherent breeding traits as a herder, which include a well-developed protective instinct, Aussies make good watch dogs. They will certainly bark warnings if they suspect danger, but they are not excessive noise makers. They are generally loyal, playful, and affectionate dogs that love to cuddle and make terrific companions. Australian Shepherds make wonderful family pets, provided the family has plenty of time for them. Just like many intelligent dogs, Aussies can become bored easily, especially if they're left alone for extended periods of time. They will chew up virtually anything if they get restless, and are notorious hole diggers and escape artists.
