Hi,
As most shepherds are, Aussies bond very closely with their people. As such, they'll be your constant shadow. All they want is to be near you. So yes, they are a cuddly breed. But before you can sit on the sofa and ask for a cuddle, you better have walked that dog for a couple of hours! Aussies have a lot of energy and need to spend it.
Hope this helps! Don't hesitate to check out our breed sheet for more information about the breed: https://wamiz.co.uk/dog/breeds/2/australian-shepherd
