Australian Shepherd Dog

        This dog, despite its name, originated in the United States.  He is very charming, and also very athletic.  He can also work with both friend and foe in a friendly way, and without aggression.  They are pretty large, and are fairly heavy.  Both genders are 18-23 inches tall, and they weigh 35-70½ pounds.  Their coats are of medium length, and they can come in blue merle, red merle, black or red.  They need exercise, but they won’t pester their human to go out.
