The Australian Shepherd most likely originated in the Basque country between Spain and France.
When Basque sheep farmers who had lived in Australia came to the United States in the 1800s, their intelligent, alert, and hardworking dogs became known as Australian Shepherds. These strong, agile dogs possess a beautiful variety of coat colors.
This Australian Shepherds square wall calendar offers a terrific sampling of this energetic breed.
