What is the difference between a Toy Australian Shepherd and a Miniature Australian Shepherd?
Mostly size. Toy Aussies measure 10 – 14 inches tall, Mini aussies measure 14 – 18 inches. Also many Toy Aussies tend to have less herding drive, as most breeders of toy sized Aussies realize that our dogs are generally going to pet homes and will not be used to work livestock. Some larger toys can be used to herd sheep or ducks, but trying to herd anything with a tiny toy is putting the dog in danger of being hurt.
