Would australian shepherds be a good pet?

Australian Shepherds are easy going, perpetual puppies that love to play. Courageous, loyal and affectionate, they are excellent children's companions that are great with active children. A devoted friend and guardian, for they are naturally protective. Very lively, agile and attentive - they are eager to please. Australian Shepherds are highly intelligent and easy to train. Australian Shepherds need daily exercise....keep in mind large breeds get bored easily especially Sporting/Working dogs such as the Aussie...if not excised daily it will become restless and destructive.
