About the Australian Retriever
The Australian Retriever is a hybrid dog that is made up of a combination of two different purebreeds. It's a cross between the Australian Shepherd and the Golden Retriever. We've found the best method for understanding the characteristics of the Australian Retriever is to read both of its ancestors descriptions taking note of their temperaments, size and general look.
