| Did you know that the Australian Shepherds, Standard, Toy and Mini’s, are of the few breeds of dog known for smiling? A happy Aussie will do this often, and there is nothing quite like it in the world. Toy and Mini Aussies are loving, playful, intelligent, loyal, protective, athletic, courageous, and beautiful dogs who are easily trained. They have an easy-going nature about them, making them a great family dog, working/herding dog, and devoted companion. Toy and Mini Australian Shepherds complement today’s busy lifestyles for many people without sacrificing the characteristics of the Standard Australian Shepherd. Toy and Miniature Australian Shepherds excel at Dog Shows, Agility, Fly ball, Disc, or Frisbee. They do like to be busy and daily exercise is recommended, though on occasion you will find a couch potato. Colors are Black Tri, Black Bi, Red Tri, Red Bi, Blue Merle, and Red Merle. Eye color will be brown, amber, blue, one eye one color-the other another color, or even a bi-color, also known as a “split-eye.” Grooming a Toy or Mini Aussie is easily accomplished with an occasional brushing of their double coat and bathe when needed. As with any breed of dog, Toy and Mini Aussies have their own particular health concerns, such as the MDR1 gene factor (drug sensitivity). You will find this information within this website and your breeder can address this with you as well. |
