Miniature American Shepherd
Miniature American Shepherds (20-40 pounds) are intelligent, energetic, and loyal, ideal for active families. They’re great with kids when trained but may herd toddlers. High exercise (1-2 hours daily, agility or herding) is crucial; their medium coat needs weekly brushing.
Feed 1.5-2.5 cups daily of Purina Pro Plan Performance Sport 30/20 Formula, with 30% protein for their active lifestyle. Monitor portions to maintain agility. Suited for both indoor and outdoor living with space, they’re not for apartments or sedentary owners.
Training prevents nipping. Perfect for dynamic households, Mini Aussies thrive with challenges, not for low-energy or urban-only homes.
