Australian Shepherd Puppies for Sale in Florida
The Australian shepherd was originally bred as a durable herding dog in the mountains of Europe. Today, this cowboy’s companion has retained its working instinct while making a fun and enthralling family pet.
Many Australian shepherds still work as cattle herders, while others earn their keep as therapy dogs and in search and rescue. An active, easy going dog breed, the Aussie is extremely intelligent and loves close attention from family members.
You can’t help but notice the Australian shepherd closely resembles the border collie. In fact, recent testing found that the two breeds are closely related. They have alluring green or amber eyes with that distinctive alert sheepdog gaze. Their mid-length coat comes in dark brown, blue and yellow, as well as contrasting blue merle or red merle varieties. This medium-sized puppy weighs from 35 to 70 pounds and stands 18 to 23 inches in height. Generations of working-based breeding means that the Aussie is generally a healthy breed.
History of Aussie Puppies
Despite the name, the Australian shepherd’s bloodlines are as much in the United States as the Aussie Outback. In the early 1800s, shepherds from the Pyrenees Mountains in Europe traveled to Australia, taking their faithful dogs with them. As time went on, some of these decided to explore America and headed to California. Ranchers already established there admired the working qualities of this recently arrived breed. They assumed they were Australian, hence the name Australian Shepherd. These dogs were then further refined and honed in America.
Grooming
Australian Shepherds are regular shedders, meaning they need weekly brushing sessions and more when they lose hair heavily once or twice a year. During this shedding season, an undercoat brush can be used every two or three days. To keep their waterproof, double-layer coat looking its best, occasional trimming is recommended. They only require bathing on an as-needed basis.
Character
With their working instincts still present, Australian shepherds love to be busy. They’re always on the go and like to get involved in everything their family or owner is doing. Aussies thrive when part of an active household that indulges them.
Like most intelligent breeds, keeping the Australian shepherd busy is essential for these dogs. Ideally, this is a combination of physical and mental stimulation that keeps their working instincts fulfilled.
Exercise
The Australian Shepherd needs plenty of exercise. Activities, like jogging, chasing balls, biking, and playing Frisbee, are constructive outlets for their enthusiasm. A decent-sized yard to help it work out its abundant energy is strongly recommended. This is definitely a breed for those who can commit to ongoing activity, as their strong work drive can lead them to mischief if not occupied.
The Australian shepherd is an extremely intelligent working dog with strong working instincts. A loyal companion, it has the energy to work and play all day.

I had a wonderful experience
I had a wonderful experience with YourPuppy. Logan was extremely helpful in answering all my questions. He let me video conference with the puppy I chose to better view his normal behavior and even delivered him to my home! I couldn’t be happier with the puppy I chose. Pure bread lab, definitely bread well with good behavior. I couldn’t have asked for a better puppy or service. Thank you for making the addition to our family such a painless and enjoyable experience. If I am ever going to add a sibling for my new puppy I will be using this company again!
I Had a Great Experience
I had a great experience with Logan and we have an amazing puppy who is healthy and a bundle of joy. Logan was helpful throughout my visit and provided thorough details regarding the puppy, his health certificate and their comprehensive warranty. The facility was clean and the all the puppies looked happy and healthy.
Delivered them to me on the same day. 5*
Yourpuppyfl.com Seller was very kind and very knowledgable. They even delivered my puppy to me, 2 of them. They also gave me about 9-10% discount. I looked online for a puppy called them and they showed me videos of my German Shepherd and American bulldog puppies and delivered them to me on the same day. 5 ⭐️
She was delivered to me in ONE hour!
I had a very professional and extremely courteous experience with both Jarrod and Logan. I have my own Teddy Bear puppy who is now 10 months old. My neighbors son came to stay with her for a few months after going through an extremely rough time over the last 10 years. He has PTSD among other issues, and my puppy had been a huge help in his recovery. My dog has become best friends with him and they both benefit from each other. So the other day, his mom (my best friend).. started asking me questions about my dog and I know she sees the change in her son for the positive. So I went home and started researching and looking for an available puppy for him. So ultimately, I bought the puppy for him. The transaction with Your Puppy FL went seamlessly. Jarrod emailed me forms to sign and I paid for the puppy and she was delivered to me in ONE hour! This new puppy (Lyla) is an Angel, and it’s the joy that she is bringing to him is just amazing! I haven’t seen him happier. The kind of love that they share already, has been so rewarding for me, and I’m so happy that I was in a position to do this for him. You can’t put a price on that. I’ve had it all, and I’ve also had nothing. So I believe in “paying it forward.” So now these 2 puppies are neighbors and already best friends. So it’s been such a positive experience for all of us. I would just like to send my gratitude to Your Florida puppy FL, and I will absolutely recommend you to my friends that may be interested in buying a dog. Thank you again so much 💖 Sincerely, Anne DeFuria
