About Australian Shepherd
Australian Shepherds are very active and hard-working dogs. They need active and experienced dog owners who can find the right balance between exercise and rest. The same applies to these puppies: Rest training is more important than activity, although activity becomes more important as they get older. When mating, you should pay attention to the Merle factor, as health problems can be associated with it.

What makes HonestDog different from other platforms
Full transparency
We show what's on file: who the breeders are, how they work and which health records they've uploaded. That way you can form your own picture.
Verified breeders, open records
Every breeder on HonestDog has their identity and documents checked before their profile goes live. Health records they upload are shown on the profile, so you can see exactly what has been tested.
