My big problem with most "show dogs" is that while they are pretty, have scads of hair and may appear to be well put together (hair can be deceiving) can they do the job the breed was intended to do?? in my humble opinion to make an Aussie worthy of being called an Aussie takes more that a CH before the name, I want to see herding titles behind the name, however most breeders do not do that because it is a lot of hair to have in the pasture herding livestock. My last breed was German Shepherd Dogs, not the American dogs but imported dogs who to get titles on both ends such as a V, VA, or SG in front and Ssch or IPO on the end. To give you an idea a GSD puppy from titled German Bloodlines will start at $2500 and go up.
My pup is gunna be a herding dog/pet/show, not in order though. I don't care for herding dog titles. I just want my dog to work great out with the cattle.
