Today's daily puppy is Chloe the Australian Shepherd. Miss Chloe looks like a worker (but just too cute to act on her puppy chores).
The Australian Shepherd breed is in fact meant to work - herding livestock and working on a farm. This sense of daily accomplishment settles the breed into content happiness.
The origins of the Australian Shepherd come with a bit of a shock. This breed more or less came about in Europe, in the mountains between Spain and France. The Australian name is linked to the breed for its relation to Basque shepherds who came to America from Australia in the 1800s.
