Another smart Australian herding breed, it is a versatile working dog. Like most herding-type of dogs, the Aussie has an inborn protective streak and are wary of strangers.They have to keep active to keep them physically and mentally satisfied. Great for outdoor activity not for indoors. Tough and resilient with good judgement skills. Great family dogs provided they are mentally and physically stimulated. They thrive on attention and hate being left alone. Long periods of being left alone can lead to depression, so take note.
