History Of The Breed
The Australian shepherd is thought to have originated in the United States and this may be partially correct, as they were fully developed into the breed we see today in the western states in the 19th century. However, this high-energy herding dog didn't begin there. Believed to have originally come from the Basque region of Spain, where Spanish shepherds had an ancient breed of sheepdog, now known as the Pyrenean sheepdog, that they took with them when they emigrated to Australia where they then crossbred with Collie dogs. These shepherds then headed to the United States with their dogs which were then referred to as Australian shepherds.
