They're selectively bred to herd, and may attempt to herd everything and anything like the squirrels around your house, ducks, even people. Australian Shepherds also have strong protecting instincts, and would like to be close to their owners all the time.
Formerly bred as all-purpose farm dogs, Aussies ended up left to watch over the kids while the parents worked in the fields. They are fantastic with kids, with the exception of the casual nipping at their heels to herd them into place. They are extremely passionate, assertive, and highly territorial and may be manipulative.

Australian Shepherds are quite protective of the family and home, and therefore are cautious around other people. They require plenty of psychological stimulation and exercising, or you could start having behavioral issues.
If you happen to be interested in a full-time focal point family dog, filled with exuberance and demanding of your attention, then an Aussie could possibly be for you. They can be good-natured, wanting to please, and extremely devoted. However they will have to be near the top of your priority list.
