Australian Shepherd's need roughly 120+ minutes of exercise. Taking their age, size and exercise needs into account they will need about 3-4 cups of food on average in a day.

Owners of the Australian Shepherd will generally describe this dog as intelligent. They are on the moderate end of the trainability spectrum and they bark moderately.

When deciding the dog breed for your situation where you live and where the dog will live and play matters. The Australian Shepherd likes to live outside. If you plan on having your dog be an inside dog the smallest recommended living space is a house and it will need a yard to stay physically and mentally stimulated.
