I've had both an English shepherd and an Australian shepherd and I find these descriptions absolutely wrong. English shepherds are much more independent and bark more than an Australian shepherd.

Australian shepherds are known for being "velcro" dogs which often result in separation anxiety, but only bark to play or alert about imminent possible threats.
MJ
Nov 26, 2023, 5:14:28 PM:
Long walks (1-2h), dog park time (1-2h) and stimulating games are necessary for both breeds but several walks would only be required if you're walking around the block once.

All dog breeds are dog friendly as long as they've been well socialized young and haven't dealt with traumatic incidences. English shepherds don't drool at all, you're mistaking the breed with another, as even your picture for the breed looks wrong.
MJ
Nov 26, 2023, 5:18:27 PM:
Both breeds have a moderate prey drive as it derives from wanting to protect the flock and home from intruders. English shepherd also have a low tendency for health issues compared to other breeds as they aren't over bred like most AKC registered breeds.
