The Mini Australian Shepherds are unique and charming little dogs. They exude joy and appear friendly and approachable. According to their breed standard, their bodies are strong, muscular, and athletic, and their step is smooth and elegant. The Mini Australian Shepherds are sturdy-built, hardy, agile, and fast, as their reputation as herding dogs can attest. They have slightly raised triangular ears and almond-shaped eyes that can either be blue, green, brown or display heterochromia which means that they can have different colored eyes (ex: one blue and one green).
Small to medium in size, and much smaller than the full size Australian Shepherd, Mini Aussies stand at 14 to 18 inches tall and weigh between 20 to 40 pounds, with the female Mini Aussies being a slightly smaller dog. They sport a luxurious double coat of medium length that is straight to wavy and soft. The Mini Aussie coat comes in combinations of black, blue, merle, and red, with white or tan spots and accents. The most popular Mini Australian Shepherd breed colors are blue and red merle, black and red tricolor, and bicolor combinations.
