The Australian Shepherd is a medium sized dog, solid, muscular and slightly longer than it is tall. The straight, or slightly wavy, coat is of medium texture and medium length, weather resistant with an undercoat and a ruff above the shoulders. Their gait demonstrates the agility and stamina that a sheepdog would need. Colours are blue merle, black, red merle, red all with or without tan points. The coat may also have white areas around the collar , chest, muzzle and feet.

They are used for herding in general although excel in guarding also.
