Animal Type: Dogs
Breed: Australian Shepherd
Aussies are working dogs. They are bred to herd sheep, cattle, and other similar animals. They are capable of running very fast, jumping up to 6 feet from a standing start, and have a cat-like agility. Like any good herding dog, they nip at the heels, and will attempt to herd kids, ducks, chickens, or anything else that looks to them like it should be gathered together and guarded.
As puppies, and even as adults, they are compulsive chewers.
