Australian dog breeds are amongst the most hard-working pups on the planet, with bucket loads of energy that make them well suited to homes with active lifestyles. Whether you’re looking for a herding dog or a canine companion who will be as enthusiastic about adventures in the great outdoors as you are, Australian dog breeds are well worth considering.
While Australia is well known for producing cattle and sheep-herding breeds of outstanding quality, these strong, tireless and agile dogs aren’t the only type to hail from the land down under. Spirited and mischievous toy dog breeds, like the Australian Silky Terrier, and gentle and empathetic therapy dog breeds, like the Cobberdog, also got their start in this breathtakingly beautiful, but at times, harsh and unforgiving land.
