A New Dog Owner's Guide To Finding Miniature Australian Shepherd Puppies For Sale

By Donald Bell


Many people are looking for energetic dogs that will be able to keep up with an active lifestyle. If you want a dog like this but want one that is not overly large, you may want to look for miniature Australian shepherd puppies for sale. This is because these dogs (known as "mini Aussies") have all the charm, tenacity and energy of their larger counterparts in a much smaller package. This can be wonderful for individuals who may be living in a smaller home but who have the time and energy to spend exercising their pup on a regular basis.

Miniature Australian shepherds are much like their larger counterparts. "Aussies" were bred to herd animals such as sheep and have a strong desire to work and be active. If you are someone who wants a calmer, more sedentary dog you may want to look at a different breed instead. If, however, you like the idea of a companion who is always ready to run and play, this is a fantastic dog breed to keep in mind.

Finding people who breed these dogs is not difficult. They are quite popular and this generally means that there are a large number of people who are producing pups for sale. There are several ways that you can go about getting the names and contact numbers of breeders to speak with.

If you are out at a dog park or at a dog show and you see a mini Australian shepherd you may want to ask its owner where they got their dog. This is an especially good idea if you like the coat color or if you like a particular dog's personality more than others you have met in the past.

You can also find breeders online as well. If you are working off of websites you will want to be a bit cautious. If you can, visit the breeder at their home and inspect the place where the pups are being born and raised. Make sure it is clean and that the pups are healthy and well-socialized.

There are a few things that you will want to avoid when working with a breeder. The first is a breeder who does not screen for health issues in their dogs. Mini Aussies are generally fairly healthy but, as with any breed of dog, there is always the potential for health problems.

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.

Being separated from litter mates and brought home is a huge adjustment for any puppy. If you want to make the process smoother you will want to think about trying to get a piece of cloth, such as a blanket, that smells like the other pups. Getting some of the food that your pup is used to eating can also help ease the transition and keep your new dog from getting an upset tummy.
