National Australian Day Celebrated at TheWoofBook.Com

Laguna Niguel, CA - TheWoofBook.com, the premier social media network exclusively for dog owners, announces January 9th as National Australian Shepherd Day, in its ongoing series of National Dog Breed Day celebrations. A hard working, active and extremely smart dog, the Australian Shepherd is a popular breed for active individuals and families alike.

Mallory Lahkota, Breed Ambassador for TheWoofBook.com, says, “Aussies are great dogs but they are not for everyone. The Australian Shepherd is just that...a shepherd, and will attempt to herd anything in sight, including children, other dogs and birds. If you like an easy going, sedentary lifestyle, you may find the Aussie to be too much!”

A medium sized dog, the Australian shepherd stands between 20 to 23 inches at the shoulder for males and 18 to 21 inches for females. Adult males weigh between 50 to 65 pounds and females between 40 to 55 pounds. Both males and females display a variety of coat colors and patterns, including the merle, a strikingly beautiful mottled pattern with contrasting blue or red shades.

Lahkota cautions the novice owner, pointing out that “Aussies are very, very smart. So smart in fact that they will play tricks on anyone who is unsuspecting! But for many Australian Shepherd lovers this is part of their considerable charm.”

The Australian Shepherd breed, along with all the dog breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club, has its own group at TheWoofBook.com. Aussie owners and lovers can join this group or a dog groups of their choice by going to https://thewoofbook.com/groups/AustralianShepherds.
