An Aussie is not for everyone! If you haven’t already, please do your research about the breed. There are lots of great books out there on Aussies. Remember that an Aussie is first and foremost a herding breed, some of them will herd anything that moves, even children. They are very loyal, loving dogs and crave attention. An Aussie must be socialized as much as possible and obedience training is highly suggested.
