Generally, the answer to this question is 'No'. Unless the dog is afforded daily exercise and NOT crated or left alone in an apartment. They are full of energy, extremely intelligent & easily bored. Border-Aussie's should be socialized as early as possible. While they are not generally aggressive they can be protective of you or what they may consider their property. One other aspect of the Border-Aussie is that they will attempt, often, to be the pack alpha and therefore require of firm, consistent owner.

Given a good environment to live in a Border-Aussie is, in my opinion, one of the most enjoyable pets a person could have. They can learn nearly behavior you care to teach in an unusually short amount of time and they are eager to please you.

Your border collie Australian shepherd mix is 4 months old - His ears have gone floppy after standing up for about two weeks is this normal and will they stand up again?

Yes, it's normal for a young dog's ears to droop or become floppy as they grow. This is part of the natural development process and may happen as the muscles and cartilage in the ears strengthen and adjust. Some mixed-breed dogs, like Border Collie Australian Shepherd mixes, may have ears that are more prone to flopping. In some cases, the ears may eventually stand up again, but it can vary from dog to dog.


Is a German Shepherd and Border Collie mix a Dutch Shepherd?

A Dutch Shepherd is not a Border Collie or a GSD (German Shepherd Dog). While they are herders and protectors, the Dutch Shepherd is not close to the ability of a Border Collie, and surpasses the ability of a GSD. Dutch Shepherds are very capable guardians, and virtually lack all of the health and temperament problems of a GSD. I have a Border Collie, GSD, and Dutch Shepherd and know that they are three very different dogs, and should not be confused with one another. In short, a Dutch Shepherd is less likely to snap when he shouldn't, is a far better protector than a GSD, and lacks nearly all of the health problems that a GSD does. I would say that a Dutch Shepherd ranks closer to a Doberman or Rottweiler as far as being a guard dog, an Aussie in terms of agility, and and Aussie again in terms of temperament.

What dog is smarter an Aussie or a sheltey?

A wolf and a Border collie. The wolf is smarter than the Border collie by the way. The Aussie is a more intelligent animal than the sheltie, as they seem to learn faster, and have superior herding skills. Not to say shelties are not intelligent, but the Aussie learns his job faster. Border collies are reknown for their herding skills, and the Australian shepherd rivals their ability.

If it's more than one Aussie - the apostrophe is 'implied' - as in "The Aussies lost again"Aussies's can have an apostrophe but there shouldn't be an s after the apostrophe.Aussie's is the possessive singular form of Aussie. eg The Aussie's dog is missing. - here - 's - shows the dog belongs to the Aussie (one Aussie).Aussies is the plural form of Aussie and means more than one. eg The Aussies lost the game.Aussies' is the plural possessive form of Aussie. eg The Aussies' fullback was hopeless.There is no implied apostrophe.

You need to consider the temperment of the dog with the personality of your daughter. If you feel they are a good match then go for it. Do research on border collies and see what their personality is like. Ask border collies owners. Anyway good luck on the job hunt.
