When looking for a mixed breed dog, it’s always best to consider the appearance and temperament of both breeds. A mixed-breed can display any number of traits from both. Australian shepherds, for example, are long-haired herding breeds, often with blue or marbled eyes. They can come in tricolor or merle varieties. Pitbulls have a much wider range of colors and tend to be short-haired with brown eyes. They’re both medium-sized dogs, so their appearance will be a mix of the two.
Pitbulls are great family animals who are loyal and devoted to their families, but can have a prey drive that it’s important to be aware of. Australian shepherds are herding breeds, which is also something to think about. They may nip at small children or cats, so be aware of both of these things.
What the breeds have in common is that they’re highly trainable and energetic. You should be prepared to give this dog lots of physical and mental outlets for their energy, and stay on top of their training. Socializing them from a young age will also be immensely helpful and prevent them from becoming wary of strangers. Each breed in this mix has the potential to do this, so you want to show them strangers are good.
