Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Miniature Australian Shepherd? The Miniature Australian Shepherd is a purebred herding dog bred to deliver focus, agility, and loyalty in a smaller size. Originally developed in the United States, Mini Aussies inherit their larger cousin’s sharp instincts and drive while offering a more compact, family-friendly build. They excel as working dogs or active companions, bringing intelligence and devotion to every task.
How big do Miniature Australian Shepherds get? Miniature Australian Shepherds grow to 14 to 18 inches tall and weigh 20 to 38 pounds.

Despite their size, they carry themselves with confidence and grace, embodying a spirit larger than their stature.

Mini Aussie Breed Info
The Mini Australian Shepherd, often affectionately called the Mini Aussie, is a compact herding dog with a big heart and an even bigger work ethic. Built for both brains and beauty, this smaller version of the standard Australian Shepherd brings all the charm, agility, and intelligence of its larger cousin—just in a more manageable size.
Energetic, loyal, and incredibly sharp, the Mini Aussie has quickly become one of the most popular small-to-medium herding breeds in the United States. They were originally bred to maintain the drive and stamina of the full-sized Australian Shepherd while fitting better into smaller homes and tighter living spaces. What resulted is a dog that’s full of personality and always up for a challenge.
Don’t let the word “mini” fool you—these dogs are packed with energy and purpose. Whether they're herding, learning new commands, or simply keeping a watchful eye on their family, the Miniature Australian Shepherd thrives in a setting where both their body and mind are engaged.
They do best with active owners who enjoy spending time outdoors, training regularly, or including their dog in everyday activities. While they love to cuddle and bond, they also need structure and space to stretch their legs—both physically and mentally.
For families looking for a loyal, lively, and incredibly smart companion that’s just as good on the trail as they are at your feet, the Mini Aussie might be the perfect fit.
