Trey, you have an aussi? What do you do to keep him/her occupied? Do you two compete together?
Spartan, I'm sure Trey is familiar with this, but just wanted to let u know - Aussies are AWESOME dogs...but they're BRED to work. If they don't have an outlet for their engery....they work on your furniture.
There's an Aussie rescue shelter in my community...people buy them for their great personalities but end up just not having the time/space/patience/resources to give them the intensive excersise they need.
Just a heads up - we all want great pets, but we've got to make sure we can do right by them before we bring them home!

i agree with you mimzy but i am one of 3 kids and we keep her occupied... there are also alot of dogs in our nwighborhood and kids that she plays with.... at time u will think the dog ate a couple pounds of sugar and caffeinee... and other times when they dont wanna be bothered and just sleep (rarely! lol)
but all in all they are very loving, fun, smart, and devoted dogs that almost absolutely need a big yard or if u dont have a big yard.. a couple of walks a day... ( o and she has never met a person she doesnt like! :cheer: )
we will have had "Haley" for one year on christmas of this year....
brace urself now cuz i got lots of pics! :hilarious

That looks like a very uncomfortable way to sleep! But whatever blows its hair back?!?! She adorable though!!!

IDK...but our lab/rottie does that all the time too. I cant figure out why-that position looks like it hurts very badly! At least my dog sleeps normal-except she snores when she sleeps.

Aussies are wonderful!!!!!!!!! I have 4 of them. Been breeding and raising them for over 12 years!!!!!!! Currently have 1 red bi female, 1 black bi male, 1 blue merle female, and 1 tri male. Mimzy is right on the mark. These dogs are bred to work livestock. If they do not have a job they will create one of their own. They are great with kids, but sometimes they will try to herd them. Be sure to socialize these dogs when they are young. Keep it busy. Lots of play. Will play fetch until YOU wear out. I LOVE this breed! And if given enough excersise, can be kept anywhere. Have had my puppies living on farms and in apartments in the city. They adjust very well. And you can teach them ANYTHING!!!!!! Very bright. IMO an aussie is the perfect choice. But of course I am very biased!!!!

From a groomers aspect you should get them groomed every eight weeks.....every 3 months minimum. Your looking at 35-50 dollars each time...pending how often they get groomed.
