WELCOME TO NUTHINBUTT AUSSIES

We have been involved with the Australian Shepherd breed (Aussies) since 2005.

It all started when we went to a local show for an outing and saw the breed for the first time.
We were originally looking to purchase a Border Collie but instead fell in love with the Australian
Shepherd, and it was from here our quest began to find an Aussie to love as a part of our family.

To the untrained eye, Aussies most closely resemble Border Collies, but they are slightly larger and
have a wider range of coat colours. Bred as a working dog, Australian Shepherds are highly active, intelligent, alert and eager, with strong herding and guarding instincts.

Their medium-length coats come in four colours — black, blue merle (marbling of grey and black),
red (ranging from a light cinnamon to liver), and red merle (marbling of red and silver or buff).

Aussies’ eyes can also vary greatly in colour. They can be green, hazel, amber, brown or blue;
they may even have two different-coloured eyes, or even more strangely, can have bicoloured
or ‘split’ eyes, where each eye can be of two colours. Up to 25% of the nose may be unpigmented.

People had said to me that owning an Aussie was like an addiction and I use to shrug and laugh...

5 years later, we now house 4 Australian Shepherds as well as our Border Collie, Bailey.

We have successfully shown and titled two Australian Shepherds in this short space and have been fortunate enough to be entrusted with outstanding quality dogs from our great friends within the breed.

We have had great success producing our own progeny of beautiful puppies and hope that
we will continue our success and friendships along the way.
