What to Know About Your Miniature Australian Shepherd Puppy
It’s important to know what to expect when you bring your miniature Australian shepherd puppy home. Every dog is different, but there are certain common traits particular breeds have and having some prior knowledge can help make your lives, and your puppy’s life, much easier.
As the name implies, a miniature Australian shepherd is a smaller version of a regular Australian shepherd. The primary difference between a miniature and a regular Australian shepherd is size — regular Aussies can grow to be roughly 18-23 inches tall and 40-65 pounds, while miniatures typically max out at 14-18 inches tall and 20-40 pounds.
Similar to their larger counterparts, miniature Aussies are intelligent, energetic dogs with strong herding instincts. Because of their high energy, these dogs require lots of exercise, so it’s probably best to have a backyard available to let them spend time outside. However, they enjoy learning new tricks and exercising their minds as well as their bodies.
Aussies also have thick coats that require weekly brushing, but compared to other breeds, grooming is relatively low maintenance for these pups.
