Australian Shepherd is a descendant of dogs from Basque which were brought to Australia and US by the shepherds. It was later crossed with other Collie type dogs to create a dog with excellent herding skills. Initially Australian Shepherd was used for herding cattle.
because they are used for farming and for herding
After world war II
Herding Dogs are used as sheepdogs. Different countries use different breeds but some of them are Collies, German shepherds and Old English sheepdogs. The herding instinct is bred into them - pups will try to herd anything they can, including ducks! However they still need extensive training.
German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois are the two most popular HDR (human remains detection) dogs. Most departments use the German Shepherd and the Belgian Malinois because they can preform impressively in all law enforcement functions. Although, breeds such as Australian Shepherds, Dutch Shepherds, Redbone Coonhounds, Golden Retrievers, Black Labradors, and many others have been used. Any breed of dog can be trained to detect human remains if they have the proper training and a knowledgeable handler.

Very well. That's why they're used as police dogs.
There are all kinds of service dogs! From seeing-eye dogs, to therapy dogs, even to hearing dogs!Corgis are often used as hearing dogs. Guide dogs are usually golden retrievers and labradors, though German shepherds are also used. Therapy dogs (such as seizure alert dogs, and wheelchair assistance dogs, etc.) range from toy poodles to St. Bernards. In the "official" police/army/FBI way, all kinds of dogs are used for sniffing out things from cocaine to people buried in rubble. I know that bloodhounds are used for this, as are beagles and other scent hounds, while German shepherds and belgian shepherds are very common for defense breeds. newtest3
I guess they could be used for hunting but they are better guard dogs. They can be used as a hunting companion instead.
Alsatian dogs, also known as German Shepherds, originated from Germany. They were originally bred for herding sheep but are now commonly used as police, guard, and service dogs due to their intelligence and versatility.
Pitt bulls, rotts and German shepherds.
Small Australian Shepherds are breed with each other to get smaller puppies. No other breed is used.
