How big will a mini Aussie grow?
Males typically range from 15 to 18 inches (25 to 40 pounds) and females are proportionately smaller, although dogs will occasionally mature over the preferred size. A responsible breeder will be able to estimate approximate mature size. Expect your mini Aussie to be larger than the average Shetland Sheepdog. See the Miniature Australian Shepherd breed standard for more information on size and structure.
