Funny Australian Shepherd (Aussie) Dog Tags

Engraved tags for the dog who herds your children, your guests and your vacuum. An Aussie with no job will invent one, and you will not like it.

Built for a dog who never clocks out

Every Aussie owner has the same story. You took a long hike, you threw the ball for an hour, and the dog still stands at the door asking what is next. They were bred to work cattle all day, so a quiet Sunday looks to them like unemployment.

An Aussie with nothing to do will find a job. Herding the kids into one room is the classic, and the heel nips are meant kindly. The dog also follows you to the bathroom, the garage and the mailbox, because the one job they truly love is being your shadow.

That means a tag that gets dragged through brush, mud and kid pile-ups. Our text is laser engraved into the metal, so nothing wears off.

Which size fits a Australian Shepherd (Aussie)

Aussies are medium-sized, athletic and fluffy. A mid-size tag reads well on the collar without catching on brush.

Short answer: adult Aussie, standard collar, go Medium.

Add $4 for stainless or brass, $6 for polished. Shapes available at the size you pick are shown in the builder, and the preview is exactly what we engrave. More breeds in the size guide by breed.

Made by a house with seven bulldogs

We're a family in Lehi, Utah with seven English bulldogs and one very busy laser. Aussies and English bulldogs agree on exactly nothing, except that you should never leave either one alone with a sandwich. We wrote the bulldog tags first, from experience, and the Aussie lines come from friends whose dogs herd our bulldogs, who refuse to be herded.

Aussie tag FAQ

Still stuck? [email protected]. A human answers. The dogs supervise.

What size dog tag is best for a Australian Shepherd (Aussie)?

Medium (1.5 inch) for most adults. Small works for Mini Aussies and puppies; Large only on a wide collar.

Will mud, drool and rough play wear off the engraving?

No. The text is laser engraved into the metal, so scuffing doesn't erase it.

Can I put my Aussie's name and my phone number on the tag?

Yes. Saying on the front, name and phone number on the back.

Do you have sayings written specifically for Aussies?

12 on this page. Each fits the tag as written.

What should I put on an Australian Shepherd's tag?

One joke for the front, two short lines at most, like Herds kids. Unpaid. Unstoppable. Put your dog's name and a phone number on the back. Aussies are escape artists, so the number matters more than the joke.

What happens if the engraving comes out wrong?

If we mis-engrave it, we remake it free. Tags ship USPS from Lehi, Utah in 3 to 5 days.
