Get to know Onyx
Australian Shepherd Dog, 1 Year old
My favourite thing about Onyx is...
He thinks he’s part human and part cat, climbs onto the back of the sofa like a cat but loves to snuggle up like one of the kids. Very protective of his human mum too.
The biggest challenge with Onyx is...
He really doesn’t like the squirrels that like to sit on the garden fence.
The most surprising thing about owning a Australian Shepherd Dog is...
Very energetic and intelligent, loves his toys and attention.
What I wish I’d known about Australian Shepherd Dogs is...
How they tend to have one favourite person they listen to above all others.
Did you know?
The Australian Shepherd actually gained popularity from rodeos, and while their main talent was herding the bulls, they could also do impressive tricks like balancing acts, rope jumping, or walking on their front legs.
