HISTORY:
The history of the Miniature Australian Shepherd is the same as that of the Australian Shepherd until approximately the 1960s. Thereafter, fanciers formed member clubs and registries to promote the variety's identity as a "scaled down" version of the Australian Shepherd. MINIATURE AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD
HEALTH: MINIATURE AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD
TEMPERAMENT: Miniature Australian Shepherds are eager to work, which makes training and interacting with them a pleasure, but their intelligence and drive require obedience training and plenty of interesting activity. Because they are herding dogs, they make good guard dogs and excellent companion dogs for those who provide an adequate outlet for the Mini Aussie physical and mental energy. |
