Víkur Australian Shepherds

Welcome to our website. We are a small and young kennel located in Iceland, breeding Australian Shepherd. All our dogs are registered with the Icelandic Kennel Club, HRFÍ. We use American bloodlines and our first breeding dogs are of high quality from the Thornapple Kennel in Michigan. 

Australian Shepherds were developed in the United States and was bred for herding cattle and sheep in the western US and not in Australia as the name implies. The origins of today's Aussie can be dated back to the 1700's.

The Australian Shepherd is an intelligent, medium-sized dog of strong herding and guardian instincts. He is also a delightful and loyal companion and a great family dog. He loves to be part of the daily hustle and bustle, and enjoys riding in the vehicle just to be with his beloved master. As a farm dog, he diligently carries out his responsibilities, be they bringing in the stock or finding that stray one that got tangled in the brush. He is easy to train, easy to housebreak, and eager to please.

Aussies have been used as seeing-eye dogs, as utility dogs to the physically handicapped, hearing aid dogs, police and narcotics dogs and search and rescue dogs. In the northern areas they have also been used as sled dogs. Many go with their masters as volunteers to children’s homes and nursing homes to do therapy work. Truly, the Australian Shepherd is a highly versatile dog.

The Aussie (as he is lovingly nicknamed) is a very active dog that needs a great deal of exercise on a daily basis to prevent him from become bored or frustrated and developing destructive habits. Because of their high energy level, combined with high intelligence, Aussies need to be given a “job” to perform, be it shepherding the children, protecting the house, herding livestock or competing in dog events.

One of the most frequent reasons Aussies are turned over to rescue groups is because their owners didn’t realize how much energy the breed has, and weren’t willing to channel that energy through training. Aussies are also quite demanding of their owners’ time and attention and want to be constantly with them, following them from room to room in the house, and going along in the car or truck on errands. They can be highly territorial and protective of their masters’ possessions, which can cause serious difficulties unless controlled with proper training.
