Important distinction
It is important to note that Australian Shepherds below the 18 inch standard, making them miniatures or Mini Aussies, are not the same breed as the Miniature American Shepherds. Although they have common ancestry, they are recognized by AKC as two separate distinct breeds and should not be confused or bred with each other. I include this because there is still much confusion out there and the terminology is often thought to be interchangeable, it is not!
