Choosing To Make Toy Australian Shepherds As Pets

By Claudine Hodges


One of the joys that pet lovers want to experience is having a new addition in their family. There are various dog breeds that you can choose from. But you have to ensure that you will be choosing the one that would fit your personality as well. In choosing, you also evaluate some of the requirements that the canine needs to ensure that they will grow healthy.

There are people who would recommend the famous Australian shepherd. Others would not like it because they can grow several inches taller. And if you have a small space, they might not fit. That is why there is the option of having toy Australian shepherds if you really desire this particular breed. The name was derived from the fact that they are excellent herders.

In New Hampshire, particularly in Antrim, you will find that most of their pets of of this breed. This is because they need a good dog which can take command of the herd and always keep them in line. To some degree, it will give the owner the sense of convenience as you do not have to do everything yourself anymore.

There are many individuals who think that they would not fit as a family dog because of the nature of their work. But contrary to the belief of many, there are a lot of families who have made good pets out of this canine. You can even see some in the most urban parts of town. But if you are planning on adopting, you have to know that they need a daily dose of workout or chores to keep their minds busy for the day.

There might be people who are interested in adopting this canine. But another requirement would be the space that you have in your home. Even the miniature ones really need to have a bigger space since they are energetic and they tend to do a lot of running around. This is the perfect breed for people who have playful kids and a yard were they can enjoy themselves.

Exercise is really necessary when it comes to this type of dog. If you will not give them this at least one hour per day, they will find something to do. It could be that they will run around the community chasing cars or slowly tearing your house down. If you are too busy with work, then you should probably consider other breeds.

If you are planning on letting them enter sports competition, they are the perfect breed for it. They are highly athletic and can easily perform some of the hardest routines in the competition. The daily practice would keep them stimulated and well exercised.

They are not really inclined to the idea of having strangers around the house. Since they are domineering, they can also be overprotective. This allows them to sense danger immediately. And if there is something wrong, you can notice instantly because they tend to bark non stop.

If you want them to not bark up the first person who knocks on the door too much, you have to make it a point to take them out as much as you can. This is especially done when they are still pups. So that they would get use to the surroundings especially if you are living in urban areas.
