We have always been
enamored by the working abilities and instincts of the Australian Shepherd.
These innate abilities are the basis of the Aussie's versatility.
It is hard to put the following qualities we strive for in
a specific order of importance, but along with working abilities we also
consider temperament and conformation. While not 'major' concerns but
still of great importance are the breeding, whelping and mothering qualities
of breeding stock.
