![]() The nomenclature "Australian" is deceiving, since the breed is "made in America" and perfected to type in the USA. While there are many theories as to the origin of the Australian Shepherd, the breed as we know it today was developed exclusively in the United States. The Australian Shepherd was given its name because of their association with the Basque sheepherders who came to the United States from Australia in the 1800's. They picked up the dogs on their travels and there is no evidence that the Aussie was ever "in" Australia.
