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

By Donald Bell


There are so many different dog breeds available today that it can be difficult to figure out which one is best for your family. If you are looking for a fun and lively dog that is not overly large you may want to look and see if there are any miniature Australian shepherd puppies for sale. These dogs can be great companions for children and adults alike. Here is what you need to know about the breed.

These dogs are working dogs and have many of the same characteristics of their larger counterparts. They have a lot of energy and enjoy activities such as herding and agility training. They make great fly ball dogs and can be quite eager to please their owners. If you want a dog that is calm and relaxed you may want to consider a different breed.

If you want a very active dog and like the idea of this breed it is not hard to find breeders who have puppies available. Unlike some breeds, where you need to go through kennel clubs or spend a lot of time searching online, it is relatively easy to find someone who has mini Aussie pups who will be ready for homes. Really reputable breeders may have waiting lists for their pups but there are other breeders with healthy animals for you to look at.

One way to find a breeder is to ask someone where they got their mini Aussie. If you see a dog that is healthy and which has a temperament that you like you should ask where the person got it from. Most people are quite happy to tell you about a breeder and let you know whether they were good to deal with or not.

Many breeders also have websites as well. This is becoming more and more common and many breeders will even have webcams that show potential owners what a litter of pups is doing at any given time. It can be a lot of fun to watch puppies as they grow and learn about the world around them.

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.

You may also want to think about what color of pup that you want. Some pups are available in tri-color and merle versions. Some coat colors are harder to find and the pups that are those colors will often be more expensive.

Once you have your pup picked out and it is old enough to come home you will want to make sure it adjusts as easily as possible. You can always ask that the breeder put a blanket or towel in with the litter so that it takes on their smell. Keeping your pup on the same food can also help smooth the adjustment period.
