I'm Katie S., the breeder behind Krazy G Brand Aussies located in Clinton, NC. Working type Aussie: The "working" type resembles more closely the "old time" Australian Shepherd that was found solely on farms and ranches, many years ago before conformation shows were held for Aussies and before they became popular as companions. A typical working-bred Aussie, besides having the inherent grit and stock savvy to do its job, will tend to be more athletic, be less heavily-built, and carry less of a coat than a show-bred Aussie. They are usually less flashy-looking and they show more physical variety than the show type. They are not “hyper” dogs, but they are highly intelligent and intense. They are loyal, responsible, and protective when necessary. A good working Aussie is a lot of dog. They are not recommended for most suburban pet homes, since they require both daily hard exercise and mental challenges. Working Aussies do best in agricultural settings, performance (sport) or active homes doing what they were bred for.
