2.  Comes in a wide variety of coat colors:  blue merle, red merle, black, red and can have a mixture of white and brown mixed in.

3.  Some Aussie’s are born with a naturally short tail, though the tail is usually docked if longer than 4 inches.

4.  Courageous, loyal, affectionate, lively, agile and highly intelligent are adjectives used to describe this breed.

5.  Australian Shepherds require A LOT of exercise!  Without enough mental and physical exercise the Aussie can become destructive when left alone.

6.  This breed is not recommended if you live in an apartment.  The Aussie needs a yard to run and play, or a daily trip to the beach or dog park to burn off energy.

7.  The Australian Shepherd was bred in the United States to work as a herding dog on ranches. 

8.  Besides herding, the Aussie’s other talents include retrieving, guarding, search and rescue, and agility.

9.  The Aussie requires moderate grooming to keep the undercoat under control.  Popular hair cuts include shaving and puppy cuts.

10.  Overall the Australian Shepherd is a great dog.  Loyal, loving and good with kids, this breed thrives with lots of activity and exercise!

Nuts for Mutts is an annual dog show and pet fair celebrating the best of the mutt.  In this show, mixed breed dogs compete in categories such as “Best Kisser,” “Fastest Eater,” “Most Vocal,” “Mystery Mutt” and more. It’s a day of fun and a way for people to show off their mutts!  Each year, this event raises much needed funds for New Leash On Life and allows them to come one step closer to their goal of making Los Angeles a no-kill city. All vendor fees, ticket sales, show registrations and additional proceeds directly benefit homeless animals.

Special thanks to groomer Taz Frazier for helping Mak to always look his best, and to Mak’s parents Karen and Toni for being such great customers!  For more info on this event please visit www.nutsformutts.org
