Australian Shepherd
Mountain West Dog Fanciers
A Guide to all things "DOG" in the Western Mountain States
           
Basic Description:  One distinguishing characteristic of the Australian Shepherd is its tail, which is usually a naturally bobbed tail or it may be
docked. The Australian Shepherd is an intelligent working dog of strong herding and guarding instincts. He is a loyal companion and has the
stamina to work all day. He is well balanced, slightly longer than tall, of medium size and bone, with coloring that offers variety and individuality. For
a very good history and complete description of the Australian Shepherd please visit this site. www.australianshepherds.org/   
           
Note: Any Club that wishes to provide a better quality description of this breed is invited to contact the web master.
Your assistance in making this a useful site is greatly appreciated. Also, if corrections or additions are found, please let me know at once.

Experience
 Comments: I'm a senior breeder conformation judge for ASCA plus an
ASCA obedience judge.  We are a USASA & ASCA Hall of Fame kennel.
My husband & I serve on ASCA Committees plus I also serve on a USASA
Committee. I belong to ASCA and USASA plus Lobo ASA.  We have only 3
bitches intact so we don't breed very often.  (We have quite a geriatric
ward right now:)  We do all health clearances and participate in all breed
health studies applicable.
