Australian Shepherd
Funny enough, Australian Shepherds don’t originate from the land down under, but rather on California ranches. Australian Shepherds are herding dogs, so don’t be alarmed if you catch them constantly bothering animals, and even children! Although they are smart, loyal and very strong, they can stubborn at times, and will try to become the alpha by challenging their owner. They love to play, so be ready to play games, and teach them new tricks. They are very eager to learn, and are very energetic so be sure to keep them focused and happy! Australian Shepherds also have great stamina and are used for long distance treks.

Saint Bernard
Most of us will recognize the Saint Bernard breed from the Beethoven movie series dating back to the late 90’s. They don’t look goofy like dogs from comedies, and they definitely don’t look scary like aggressive dogs from thrillers. They were breeded for generations and generations as skilled mountain dogs in Switzerland. They are often called the Gentle Giant of dogs because although they are massive in size, they are very sweet, patient and calm. But, as with many large dogs, it is important to train them with both people and other animals to prevent aggression or fear.
