What To Consider When Searching For Miniature Australian Shepherd Puppies For Sale

By Donald Bell


If you are looking for a fun and energetic companion you might want to think about a miniature Australian shepherd or "mini Aussie" as their fans call them. There is a lot to learn about these entertaining and dedicated little canines. Here is what you need to know about the breed in general and how to find miniature Australian shepherd puppies for sale once you know this is the right breed for your home.

These dogs are working dogs and have many of the same characteristics of their larger counterparts. They have a lot of energy and enjoy activities such as herding and agility training. They make great fly ball dogs and can be quite eager to please their owners. If you want a dog that is calm and relaxed you may want to consider a different breed.

If you want a very active dog and like the idea of this breed it is not hard to find breeders who have puppies available. Unlike some breeds, where you need to go through kennel clubs or spend a lot of time searching online, it is relatively easy to find someone who has mini Aussie pups who will be ready for homes. Really reputable breeders may have waiting lists for their pups but there are other breeders with healthy animals for you to look at.

One way to find a breeder is to ask someone where they got their mini Aussie. If you see a dog that is healthy and which has a temperament that you like you should ask where the person got it from. Most people are quite happy to tell you about a breeder and let you know whether they were good to deal with or not.

If you don't know anyone who has a mini Aussie you can always look online. You should be able to find breeder websites and see pictures of their facility and the dogs that they are using as breeding stock. If possible, you might want to find out whether you can tour the facility and meet the parents of any litter that you are considering. Healthy, well-socialized puppies make good adult dogs.

As with any kind of dog, it is important to work with a reputable breeder who really cares about their dogs. You should ask them where the dogs were raised, whether there are any genetic health issues that you should be aware of and what they do with pups that have chronic health conditions. Reputable breeders will also not force a female to have a large number of litters in any given time period.

These dogs are available in the same range of different coat colors as full sized Aussies. If you like the look of a particular coat color and want it for your pup you may need to search around as not every breeder has all coat colors available. Some particular coat colors are considered more desirable and you may end up paying more for that kind of pup.

Once you have your pup picked out and it is old enough to come home you will want to make sure it adjusts as easily as possible. You can always ask that the breeder put a blanket or towel in with the litter so that it takes on their smell. Keeping your pup on the same food can also help smooth the adjustment period.
