The Right Breed for you?

Aussies are devoted pets and tireless workers, but they might not be the ideal breed for everyone. An Aussie needs plenty of space to exercise, ideally with a lot of open pasture. They also enjoy being useful and are never more fulfilled than when they have a task to do. After all, these are working dogs, so life cooped up in an apartment would likely be frustrating for both you and your dog unless you can provide sufficient exercise.
Unless you are prepared to give as much devotion to your Aussie as they will shower on you, it might be better for you to consider a less active breed. An Aussie needs both challenges and socialization to thrive and remain happy.
