By Odessa Edwards


The toy Australian shepherd is a type or a certain breed of dogs. Its origin is traced back to northern parts of the US. It is not considerably big in terms of size, neither is it any heavy. Most of them weigh around fifteen pounds. The maximum weight for many is eighteen pounds.

Cleaning for this particular dog is very essential. It is recommended because it is not in any way complex. The owners only need water, soap and a scrubbing brush to keep it clean. During cleaning, in order to make it look neater, it may have its wool trimmed. Feeding habits should also be given very special attention. The owners must ensure it feeds on quality food and very frequently. This is because it is very active hence needs a lot of energy to operate normally.

In order to maximally utilize and realize the potential of these dogs, exercise must be offered to them. The exercises must also be very frequent. These will help strengthen them and make them even better performers. Exercises such as long distance strolling or racing are highly recommended. This calls for the owners to have large play grounds for the exercising activity.

Training at their tender age is recommended. Those that are trained very early usually grow up knowing exactly what is expected of them. With time, they can even be able to read the mood of their owners and act appropriately. When the owners look disturbed, they may nag them until they get an idea of what could be going on. Training may be offered by experts or the owners, in line with their expectations.

The dogs are normally very fond of children. Hence, they make very perfect play mates. They have the capacity of involving children in a game until the children feel like they are in the company of other children. The owners might also even at times leave the dogs in the capacity of their baby sitters. This quality is attributed to the fact that it is a dog that loves activity.

This breed also loves interacting with people. As a result, it has learnt all the members of the family to which it belongs, their likes, dislikes and even behavior. As such, they can easily identify strangers. But when the strangers are in the company of family members, they are totally not aggressive to them. Instead, they remain calm and wait for directions from their master. Meanwhile, they spend their time studying the character of the stranger.

This variety of dogs is not easily available; hence those dealing in the sale of the animals have got very lucrative businesses. This is because one goes at a very high price. This variety may be cross-bred with other varieties. But when this happens, the resulting dog may be of good quality, but it can never be as good as the original breed.

The toy Australian shepherd is a very special breed as compared to all other existing breeds. This has made it gain a lot of favor. Many people, especially those with money even go as far as importing them if they are not available in their country.
