Australian (American) Shepherd Miniature Puppies

Mini Australian Shepherds are energetic and athletic, so they require exercise multiple times per day. They are easily trained in stimulating activities, like obedience, agility, and tracking.

Mini Australian Shepherds' double coats should be brushed weekly, possibly daily during shedding season. This helps keep out tangles, dirt, and loose hair.

Mini Australian Shepherds shed a fair amount and go through a shedding season once or twice per year.

In the 1960s U.S. rodeo circuit, Australian Shepherds were bred down in size to become a new breed, originally called the Miniature Australian Shepherd. This smaller breed rose in popularity as a traveling companion for horse shows. Since 2015, this breed can be registered with the AKC as the Miniature American Shepherd, and is also known in many places as the Mini Aussie.
