Mini
Australian Shepherds
The mini Aussie can have a variety of different types of looks.
However they should look like the standard Aussie and not be
out of proportion in
conformation.
The few mini's that we have are from some of
our Standard
size aussie's but fall into the Miniature size guide lines. Thunder
one of our stud dogs for years was a smaller dog in size even though
he had parents
that were well within the standard measurements.
When we bred him with a larger
size female the pups reached
standard size and were/are great working and family dogs.
But in later years we bred him with smaller type and frame females &
Their offspring
matured to the "Mini" Size.
Most of the original "Working"
Lines of Aussies are the smaller more
athletic style of dogs--Which is what are majority
of dogs come from.
We now have true to size mini females-as well as two
younger
females, that are daughters and granddaughters of "Thunder".
"Bella" is a 16" Beautiful Blue Merle with tan points and blue eyes.
"Dolly" is a 14" Wonderful Black and White with brown eyes.
"Sassy" is a Red Tri that will be a year old in Feb. 2010
