Australian Shepherds have long hair primarily for protection and insulation. Their double coat consists of a dense undercoat and a longer outer coat, which helps shield them from harsh weather conditions and debris while working outdoors. This coat also aids in regulating their body temperature, keeping them cool in the heat and warm in the cold. Additionally, their long fur contributes to their overall appearance, which is a hallmark of the breed.

On average, Australian Shepherds live about 12.5 years.
It is not a different breed, but a specific gene that causes long hair in German Shepherds. A German Shepherd with long hair is still of the German Shepherd Breed.
