If the Australian Shepherd Mix takes after the Australian Shepherd, they will be a highly intelligent and highly active dog that loves to be doing things with their families.

Depending on the other dog breed in the cross, the Australian Shepherd Mix is likely to be highly adaptable. An Australian Shepherd can adapt to large homes with plenty of space to run as well as smaller apartments, as long as they are given plenty of exercise and attention.

A mixed breed can sometimes “win the genetic lottery” and will not be prone to develop any breed-specific health issues. The Australian Shepherd is a relatively healthy dog breed, but there are some potential health issues to be aware of.
