Mini and toy Australian Shepherds?

Mini and toy Australian Shepherds?


People call them minis and toys. Wouldn't the one they call "Toy aussie" be a Miniature north american shepherd? because....the one that is called "miniature aussie", it's REAL and CORRECT name is North American Shepherd, so if you downsized a North Am. Shepherd you have a Miniature North American Shepherd?





The real AKC/ASCA dog-Australian Shepherd


The"Mini"-North American Shepherd


The "Toy"-Miniature North American Shepherd





Am I right?



Yes, you are correct, but keep in mind that any version of the North American Shepherd is a bastardized version of the Aussie.




According to their website..no. It would just be North American Shepherd and either 14 inch or 17inch Just like beagles are 13in or 15in.





Either way they still have a LONG way to go before the AKC and USASA sign off on the NAS being placed in the AKC FSS List. As of now they do NOT have a separate gene pool that does not include the Aussie Shep. Until that variable has been removed and two other actions per the letter they received from the AKC they are for the moment still bred down mutts.




The real breed is the Australian shepherd.





The other two are mutts created and sold by irresponsible breeders and bought by people who don't know any better - or don't care.




why are you asking this again?
