Question

Do australian shepherds have a high prey drive?

As a high-prey-drive herding breed, Aussies are usually extremely visually sensitive. This is important to remember during the socialization process. Aussies notice things that other breeds don't, and the socialization process should be extremely far-reaching for this reason.

Answer 2

Aussies that are raised with cats are usually fine with them, but some Aussies are cat aggressive.

Like most herding dogs, Aussies to have a high prey drive and may chase animals, children, bicycles, and cars if not controlled.
