Australian (American) Shepherd Miniature
8 weeks old
Look at me! I am a Toy Australian Shepherd puppy! My Mom is Hazel a 14 pound Black Tri Toy Australian Shepherd and my Dad is Buddy a 15 pound Red Merle Toy Australian Shepherd. I was born on February 29th and I will be ready for my forever home on April 25th! I have been family raised on a mini farm in the country around children. I have had my shots and de-wormers. I have been checked by a veterinarian.
I will come with a small bag of my current food, my vet records, my de-wroming and shot records/schedule, and a small toy.
I will also come with a 30 day health guarantee.
For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Uriah and Susie Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday.
Some additional info about Toy Aussies -
Australian Shepherds, bred initially to herd livestock and be work dogs, have maintained their energetic nature and are happiest when given a task and being played with. These dogs are very intelligent and thrive when performing activities and love to learn new tricks and games. They are easy to train and highly intelligent. Aussies are prone to explore and have very high energy needs. It is important for them to get lots of exercise; they are very playful and not receiving the attention they need could lead to them developing destructive tendencies or being loud. Without a job to do they will often invent their own job so it is important to keep them occupied. They are very loyal and bond well with owners while also doing well with strangers and other dogs as well. Their tendency to herd may have them gently herding kids, but they usually do really well with children! Australian Shepherds also are very protective and will warn their owners if they hear or see something, and require a confident owner or they will feel like they are assuming the dominant role. Aussies require a moderate amount of grooming, but a lot of attention and don’t do well being left alone.
