The Benefits of the Aussie German Shepherd Mix
If you’re on the market for a dog that is as intelligent as it is large, then look no further than the beautiful Aussie German Shepherd mix While German shepherds tend to have a stubborn streak, this is often balanced out by the calmer demeanor of the Australian shepherd.
This mixed breed also features the strength and power that is characteristic of both parent breeds. While this may be a downside for some, it comes as a massive benefit for anyone seeking a good mix of a guard dog and a companion.
This German Aussie Shepherd mix is a great example of this mixed breed dog. You can see both breeds pretty clearly.
What to Watch Out For
At the same time, mixing these highly powerful breeds also results in a few drawbacks. The most obvious is that these dogs will be high energy. You’ll need to have plenty of space for them to exercise. Extreme curiosity also plagues the breed, so you’ll need to be ready and eager to train them if you’d rather not come home to gutted pillows and chewed up rugs!

This is an air-dried food. It has the convenience of kibble (just pour it in the bow) but is much much healthier. It’s like little pieces of jerky, so dogs go crazy for it. There are a number of air-dried foods on the market. My dogs tested 3 of them. You can see the results of the air-dried food test here.

Supplements:
I highly recommend using a supplement on your dog’s food, not matter what you feed them, to ensure the meal is balanced and they are getting all the right supplements to help them stay healthy. The supplement I use is called The One from Front of the Pack. It has 12 ingredients that have been clinically-proven to keep your dog’s joints, skin, heart, digestion, and even their breath in tip-top shape. It’s also a powder, so easy to sprinkle on your dog’s food. For a limited time, when you buy one month you get a second month free.
