Australian Shepherds And Strangers

(Arizona, Chandler)

I love Aussies! They are in my top ten favorite breeds... Sorry, not really much of a question, so I will hurry.

Do Aussies do okay with strangers? I really want a Aussie, and the neighborhood I live in is full of people, not too crowded, but full. There is many parks around where I live, which makes it a great place to socialize a Aussie (Or any dog!) with dogs, people, and of course loud sounds. The best park we have to drive there to. Its huge! It contains animals, like squirrels, and ducks. (I was about to get a Spaniel, but not such a good idea, if I live near ponds, lakes, (Mostly handmade, but still real.) and ducks... Lots of ducks...

I will take the Aussie to obedience class, train it new tricks often, and give it two walks daily... And lots of games to play!
