The Saussie — sometimes called the Auss-Tzu — isn’t just a mix of two popular dog breeds. It’s a thoughtful fusion of brains and beauty, charm and devotion, wrapped into a compact, spirited companion who’s as happy out on a walk as they are curled up at your feet. Born from the pairing of the Miniature Australian Shepherd and the Shih Tzu, the Saussie brings together the best of two very different worlds: the working smarts of a herding breed and the affectionate grace of a royal lapdog.
At first glance, it’s easy to be drawn in by the Saussie’s appearance. They often inherit the expressive eyes and flowing coat of the Shih Tzu, softened by the Australian Shepherd’s classic merle or tricolor patterns. But the real magic of this designer breed goes deeper than looks. Saussies are known for their intuitive nature — they read the room, connect with people on an emotional level, and genuinely enjoy being part of your daily rhythm.
This is a breed built for interaction. They’re not loners or background pets — they want to be in the middle of family life, whether that means chasing toys in the backyard, learning a new trick in the kitchen, or simply napping nearby as you work. Their energy level is moderate to high, depending on which parent they take after, but it’s rarely overwhelming. With daily exercise and mental stimulation, Saussies quickly settle into a calm and balanced groove.
Despite being relatively new on the designer dog scene, the Saussie is gaining popularity fast. It’s not hard to see why. They’re compact enough for apartment living, sturdy enough for life with kids, and affectionate enough to win over even the most dog-shy house guests. Their loyalty is matched by a touch of sass, and their intelligence ensures they’re always two steps ahead of you — in the best way.
If you’re looking for a dog who’ll greet each day with curiosity, connect deeply with their people, and offer a little bit of everything — from cuddles to cleverness — the Mini Aussie Shih Tzu mix might just be your perfect fit.
