Lasareina Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Does anyone know why they called an Australian Shepherd, an Australian Shepherd, when it originated in USA? I've always been a bit puzzled by that... Edited September 25, 2014 by Lasareina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dame Aussie Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Does anyone know why they called an Australian Shepherd, an Australian Shepherd, when it originated in USA? I've always been a bit puzzled by that... The theory I see the most is that they originally came from Spain and came over to the US with shepherds via Australia :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they should be called Spanish Shepherds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-o Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Are "Australian" Aberdeen Angus Australian or Scottish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 No Chinese Crested, probably due to the confusion as to where they actually originate from :laugh: I think they should probably be in the American section..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelpiecuddles Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Never thought about it until now but just realised that all three of the breeds we have or are considering having are French origin. Basset hound, bloodhound and papillon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuralPug Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 The first time I saw this, I remember thinking how short-changed Britain was - probably because to have put more than 15 pictures in a box would make them too small to see! Perhaps if they had separate boxes for Ireland, Scotland, Northern England and Southern England then we might see a few more of the other terriers, hounds and coursers that originated there. A nice little bit of fun nevertheless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) I want a Whippet jumper :) Are "Australian" Aberdeen Angus Australian or Scottish? In regard to angus Cattle look here My link One interesting thing, Murray Grey cattle came from Angus cattle originally, the first found in the Murray Valley region - hence their name and they were light - from a dark brown through to a very pale grey. An Angus farmer found a light coloured calf in his herd one morning and it went from there. Thankfully Murray Grey cattle are now very well stabilised and much quieter that their black (or Red) counterparts :) Edited September 27, 2014 by OSoSwift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
