One of the most popular dogs in the United States, the Australian Shepherd is an unbelievably loyal dog. It’s also extremely smart and even holds a world record.

#2 Its ancestors probably include the Collie and some shepherd-type dogs that were imported with shipments of sheep from Australia during the 1840s.
#3 There are four basic colors of the Australian Shepherd – black, blue merle, red and red merle.
#4 Their eyes may be brown, amber or crystal blue but it is not unusual to see this dog with one of a different color than the other.
#5 Australian Shepherd puppies are born with naturally bobbed tails.
#6 One of the most intelligent breeds, the Australian Shepherd can be trained to do just about any task put before them.
