Unique Australian Shepherd Breed Names for Your Exciting Coat

Are you adding an Australian to your heart and home? Congratulations! We’ve taken Australian Shepherd names inspired by everything from Australian slang to your puppy’s new coat color.

The real Australian shepherds began in the Pyrenees Mountains; Basque shepherds worked in the area with their Pyrenean Shepherds. When shepherds moved to Australia, they brought their dogs with them, where these dogs were bred with Collies and Border Collies.

Eventually the Basque shepherds moved to California with their dogs; when they arrived, people thought the breed was Australian and hence the name! Since that time, they have been a favorite working dog in Western ranches as well as a loving member of the family.

Our Australian Shepherd Spotlight: Tiki

Our Aussie Combination Tiki embodies many of the personality traits that make Aussies special dogs. She loves meeting new people, she loves the outdoors and she’s as smart as she can be!

We chose the name Tiki because we were looking for tropical dog names just finished writing a guide to Jamaica. It perfectly suits her cheerful personality!
