Miniaturizing Australian Shepherds to make them smaller and more suitable for keeping as family dogs, breeders have developed three new lines of these wonderful dogs. There are toy, teacup and miniature variations. Toy variation is especially popular, and these dogs get to be ten to fourteen inches high, while miniature ones usually have at least fourteen inches, and teacup variation under ten inches.
They all come in four accepted colors, with white or both white and tan markings. Basic coat colors are black, red, red merle and blue merle. Merle colors are especially interesting and highly appreciated. These color variations very often have blue eyes, and are a result of one special gene these dogs can be carriers of. They also can have white markings only, and both tan and white markings.
Females have higher prices, and some color variations are especially appreciated, for example blue merle with tan and white markings and blue eyes. Rare combinations have higher prices. White markings are expected, but there shouldn't be too much of them, because show dogs need to fulfill some requirements. It is good to know that this lovely fur doesn't require too much maintenance, whether it is straight or wavy.
These dogs are really friendly, affectionate and playful and loyal. Thanks to the fact that they are highly intelligent and always eager to learn new things, they are extremely easy to train. They make perfect children's companions, as well as guardian dogs. Active, attentive and never aggressive to people or other animals, they really make perfect family dogs.
These dogs are generally quite healthy, but sometimes might have problems with their hips. Merle type might have problems with eyes and ears, because it is one of known characteristics of a gen that causes their unusual coloration. This won't be a problem if only one of your puppy's parents is merle type, but if they both are, this should be checked very early.
It is always advisable to choose dependable and reliable, serious breeder. This person will make sure that your puppy's parents are perfectly healthy, as well as your puppy. One thing is very important when it comes to this particular breed. Some dogs might have a gene called MDR1. This gene causes higher sensitivity to some vaccinations, and it is advisable to check this before vaccinating your pet.
These dogs require sufficient exercise, and if you don't have a yard, it will be necessary to take your dog on regular long walks. If left alone for longer periods of time regularly, with nothing to do, your dog might develop behavioral problems simply because he gets bored. This was originally working dog, and he needs to have something to occupy him.
