About the Border-Aussie
The Border-Aussie 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 Border Collie. We've found the best method for understanding the characteristics of the Border-Aussie is to read both of its ancestors descriptions taking note of their temperaments, size and general look.

Maintenance
Border-Aussies have a coat that is easy to groom and maintain. An occasional brushing with a firm bristle brush is sufficient to assist the shedding process and keep the coat free of tangles and matting. Australian Shepherds should be bathed only as necessary. They are average shedders. Especially during shedding season extra care should be given to the soft, dense undercoat. The ears and coat, especially on the back of the neck, should be checked regularly for ticks.
Ideal Environment
The Border-Aussie requires large amounts of exercise and enjoys open area to run and play. Daily leash walks are required as well as frequent trips to the dog park. This breed is comfortable in an apartment as long as daily exercise is provided.
