I read a lot about how having an Aussie in an apartment is not a good idea. Now I’m having one and she is actually calm indoors. No issues at all with having her in an apartment. She likes to cuddle a lot and stay in bed with me. With my job some days I get so exhausted that I can’t take her for a walk the next day, and she is totally fine. She only asks to play with a ball at home, not even for long. And it compensates the walk. I lost 10 pounds of weight walking with her. So she helps me stay in a good shape.
I feel like God sent me an Angel. Such a wonderful loving dog.

Nothing prepared me for the bond I have with my Aussie, not even other dogs that I have had & loved. I consider them a high maintenance/high reward breed, definitely not a dog for lazy people. You will have a friend for life who will stick up for you, feel your pain before you do it yourself and support you, and keep you active. Also, don't underestimate the velcro trait. I don't remember what being a room alone feels like anymore.

I've had dogs all my life...first time Aussie owner. Such a unique breed.

I had an Aussie for 16 and a half years. Miss him every day

We're on our second Aussie and your video nails their traits. A better dog breed doesn't exist, but some breeds are their equals. No matter how long you have one, it is never long enough. They leave a huge hole in your life when they leave you so love them as much as you can while you have them...

I rescued a Australian Shepherd Mix from a dog shelter years ago. He was a wonderful dog who was not only smart but was able to read my mind. He has crossed the rainbow bridge now but still visits me in lucid dreams often. No doubt he will greet me in the hereafter.

Had my Aussie for 17 years, was my best friend and helped me raise my kids. Basically trained himself. Incredibly smart and intuitive. Miss him every day.

I recently rescued a 6-7 month old Aussie/poodle mix and I’ve gotta say! She IS amazing! We wanted a companion for our 17 yr old Snoodle (grouchy old man) and she has invigorated him tho he mostly behaves like he is “law enforcement” with her and is no match for her amazing level of energy. When he snarks at her, she literally backs up and sits on him and ohhh that makes him so mad! I hadn’t heard much about their sense of humor but “Findley” is full of pranks. She is delightful! We’re so happy to have this precious animal. The Aussie part of her is definitely dominant. She’s a beauty with all of her spots and colors and her plume of a tail and is less vocal than poodles tend to be. She’s always busy and we definitely have to keep our eyes on her. She is very apt to chew. No IKEA for this gal- she prefers aged wood (antiques especially). We love her and will gladly have this wonderful gift of joy in our lives!

I have autism and severe depression, Back in 2021 I was volunteering in a dog training group who also does adoptions, I found this female Aussie named Raven, who was only 2 at the time but went through 4 owners because they didn’t know how to handle her excess energy, she and I were attached to the hip on day one, so I decided to adopt here and the rest was history, now she’s spoiled, loves watching tv(on her terms) and is the most loving dog I ever owned. The key is to exercise her everyday, luckily I go on hikes and stuff and she loves it. She also comforts me when I get overstimulated or have an anxiety attack, I could not have asked for a better friend.

Even at two years old, you guys hit the nail on the head. She is all that and a bag of chips! She is a beautiful tri color and I'll never have another❤

Dude, you hit EVERY key personality traits. I have only had my Aussie for 3 months. YOU NAILED! She does EVERYTHING in this video!!! Thank you for confirmation!❤

[Tim_The_Tank]

I have a mini Aussie and I love her like one of my kids, she’s a beautiful girl, so smart, giddy and lovey! Roxy definitely thinks she’s the boss and wants control of everyone and everything. Nothing gets by her, especially a good piece of bacon!

This was a great reminder to me of how amazing Aussies can be. I lost my 15 year old blue merle to cancer 5 months ago. I am going to go look at a black tri pup today. Trying to give some consideration as to whether or not I can give her the amount of activity she needs. I'm in my 70's now and dont run or ski anymore. Maybe good to stock up on frisbees and other fetch games. They are amazing dogs and I misss having my little shadow following. me around the house all the time.

[maggieschaber]

I’ve had four Aussies in my life…..absolutely the most wonderful amazing dogs!

[daessenceofando]

I have a 12 month old female Aussie who not only changed the way I live day to day but also has an amazing intellect and personality that can’t be underestimated. I also have a Tasmanian Smithfield and she’s faster than him, smarter than me and as cunning as my wife.

I’m getting my Aussie this Saturday, I’m so excited, I have an autistic son, very energetic who really needs a dog to keep up with him.. i can’t wait to introduce them ❤😊

[Raees-Divitiae]

My Aussie/German Shepherd mix was my baby, and protected my friends and family. I still miss him to this day.

[robertlewis]

I bought my Aussie for my kids. But he quickly became bonded to me, and remained my best friend and constant companion and a source of joy for 15 years. I was devastated when he passed as were all of my family and friends. Love these videos, and you described the breed perfectly. IMHO, the best dogs in the world. RIP Roscoe.

[thegreendragon]

Their color schemes/patterns are the best of all dogs.

[lorrainescandia]

They are absolutely beautiful one of my favorite breeds.
