Dogs Of Instagram: The Australian Shepherd

Often referred to as the “Aussie”, the Australian Shepherd actually originated in America in the 19th century. The breed gained its popularity as a herding dog in the rodeo circuit and amongst the Western cowboys. Agile, medium-sized with a penetrating gaze, the Australian Shepherd comes in a variety of different colors, including merle, and sometimes will have incredibly light blue eyes.

Here we gaze into five of the deepest blue-eyed Australian Shepherds of Instagram.
