The links below are sites and resources where you can obtain reliable information on Australian Shepherds. On the "Links" page of this website are listings of pages that are related to training or other areas not specifically related to Aussies.

Web Sites:

The Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA) This site has many pages that are extremely important to read, if you are considering buying your first Aussie. I would recommend you read the "Prospective Owner" pages on this site. There you will find more information on what to look for in an Aussie, as well as how to select a breeder.

The American Kennel Club (AKC) This page is linked directly to the Australian Shepherd page of the AKC.

Worldwide Aussie Breeders This is one of the largest listing of Australian Shepherd breeders that I know of worldwide. This page lists breeders by location.

Australian Shepherd Club of San Diego County Links to Aussie breeders, show information, and a variety of other Aussie related links.

Aussie Rescue in Southern California is a networking of several different rescue volunteers, some affiliated with a national rescue group, some doing Aussie Rescue privately, all working towards helping Aussie and Aussie mixes finding new homes. Many of them are victims of divorce, loss of job or home, and some are just in the wrong homes for them. Please check out the rescue website to see some wonderful Aussies in Southern California needing new homes, as well as information about the breed, to make sure it is the right one for you.

Australian Shepherd Health & Genetics Institute This is the best authority I have seen on the possible genetic health problems of Australian Shepherds. Additional health information is available on the ASCA link above.

Australian Shepherd Illustrated Breed Standard This page shows what is meant by all of the terms referred to in the Australian Shepherd Breed Standard.
