Australian Shepherd

It is an energetic dog that requires exercise and needs a job to
do, whether it is learning and practicing tricks, competing in
dog agility, or any other physically and mentally involving
activity. It is usually a sweet and affectionate dog who is
faithful to its owners and is good with children,
Its protective instinct and behaviors can be frightening to
children, strangers, and small animals. It was bred to guard
stock and can be sometimes annoying with its inclination to bark
warnings about neighborhood activity, but it is not generally an
obsessively barking dog. It is intelligent, learns quickly, and
loves to play.
