The Australian Shepherd is an intelligent working dog with strong guarding instincts. Actually coming from the U.S.A. this was bred from the herders of Bask sheep that came to America in 1800's. He is therefore refined, showy and well balanced. The watchwords of this breed are 'medium', 'moderate', and balanced'. He should be light on his feet and alert. His coat is of medium length,straight or wavy and weather resistant. Still often docked
Colours are blue merle, black, red merle and all red, all with or without white markings and/or tan to copper points. The only colour not permitted is Brown
