Needs at least an hour and a half of activity daily, including training or games. Agility, herding, frisbee, obedience and hiking all suit it.

O pasmini
Despite its name, the Australian Shepherd was developed on ranches in the western United States during the 19th and 20th centuries. Its ancestors probably included herding dogs that arrived with sheep imports, some via Australia. It became popular through rodeos, horse shows and films.
Aussies are affectionate, playful and closely tied to their people. They are quick learners and excel in many dog sports. They need a lot of exercise and mental work, and without it they can become restless, vocal or start herding children. With an active family that enjoys training, they are lively, loyal companions.
