Australian Shepherd Names
This Beautiful Breed Deserves A Special Name


Soon after we started writing this Australian Shepherd names page we realized this was no ordinary dog breed we were dealing with.

Just one look and we recognized what most owners (and non owners) appreciate as one of the most beautifully colored dogs in the dog realm.

Colorful Australian Shepherd

But the qualities of this Australian Shepherd breed go far beyond their appearance.

-They’re highly intelligent, and adore having a sense of purpose which is why they excel when being trained.

-They’re perfect for the owner who is active, as they love to play ball, fetch Frisbees, and are masters at agility competitions. This Australian breed is not a dog for couch potatoes!

-They have strong guarding instincts, and are bred to herd. And herd they do! Strangers, your neighbors kids, your kids, you too if you should need to be herded.

-Australian Shepherds can have a vast array of eye colors, from hazel, green, blue, brown, amber and no doubt every color in between. Colorful eyes for a colorful dog with a colorful personality.

The names for Australian Shepherds you’ll find below will offer not only a few suggestions for this breed, but also gender specific ideas, as well as additional creative ideas below those. So pull your Aussie up on your lap (if it’s not off herding something) and see which names for Australian Shepherds you both respond well to.
