Acquiring a dog may be the only opportunity a human ever has to choose a relative.
-Mordecai Siegal

Money will buy a pretty good dog, but it won't buy the wag of his tail.
-Henry Wheeler Shaw

The Australian Shepherd has been one of my favorite breeds since childhood, so I couldn't help but to fall in love with its smaller counterpart. The mini Aussie has beauty, intelligence and instinct wrapped in a compact package but is bold enough to keep a recalcitrant ram in line. Energetic and clever, mini Aussies are well suited for active households, and agility, herding and other performance events permit their natural talents to shine.

Whether you are already a mini Aussie enthusiast or want to learn more about Australian Shepherds, I hope you find the information on these pages useful. Please email me if would like to see something else included.
