Breeding Australian Shepherd With Mini Aussie

by Paula Watson

I have a male Australian Shephard that is 19 inches tall and registered. Someone is wanting to sell me a female Mini Australian Shephard, I am trying to find out if I can breed them and get papers on the puppies?

There is no registration for "Miniature Australian Shepherd". People call them "Mini Aussie" because they look similar to Aussies, but their breed name is actually Miniature American Shepherd and they are a different breed from the Australian Shepherd. If you breed the two, the pups will be mixed-breed and cannot be registered as either Australian Shepherd or Miniature American Shepherd.

I have a mini female and a standard size male Aussie. My concern isn't with the registration aspect but a safety one. I don't want to lose ANY of my dogs, puppies. I would get her spayed before that would happen!

I got a Mini Aussie that had been bred accidentally by a standard male. She raised 9 healthy puppies.

Mini Aussie Breeding With Standard. Safe?

I have the same question regarding safety of the mama. What size puppies did your Mini Aussie have when she was bred with a Standard? I don’t want anything to happen to her or any pups as well.

I am very confused about the two breeds! When I purchased my tri female she was supposedly a mini, looks like a mix between standard because of her weight (55lb) short legs and longer body than my little boy, he is 30 lbs and amber eyes, red nose and red coat. Any suggestions?

Breeding toy with standard
by: Buffy

I have a female Toy Australian Shepherd, and a male standard Australian Shepherd. We have discussed breeding them (not concerned about registration), but we are concerned about the safety of our female having larger size puppies. Is there any recommendations or advice on the safety of this mix breeding?

I think it's actually more common than you think. We purchased a "Mini Aussie" puppy, thought he was a little big, and turns out he's only half Mini, half full sized. The father was a full sized, and the mother a Mini. They also breed the pair quite often, so shouldn't be an issue for you. The mix ends up being a little taller, a little heavier, but completely identical to the other two. Not dangerous.

I’m looking to breeding my Mini Aussiefemale to an Australian Shepherd male. Has anyone been able to do so? Any help will be appreciated?

Can two mini American Shepherds produce a full-size shepherd puppy? Can there be a "recessive" gene that carries through?

What size do the puppies from this mixed tend to be?

How are they registered?
by: The mother shipp

We’ve bread our mini female (12.5") to our standard male (19") and the pups are average sized minis. Granted, our mini is a very small mini and our standard is a small standard. My question though is how they would be registered. Is that based on Dam or Sire?
