Faithwalk Aussies

Our Mini Americans!

AKC Miniature American Shepherds

We have some new additions here at Faithwalk! As I age, I realize it may be nice having smaller dogs who should have all the things I love about Aussies. It was a no brainer to choose AKC Miniature American Shepherds, the smaller cousins to Aussies. Like I did with Aussies, I sought out dogs with good temperaments, health and structure, type and movement.

For those who are not familiar with this breed, they are a close cousin to Aussies and many of their pedigrees include Aussies. They are a somewhat new breed to full AKC recognition, being accepted in the summer of 2015 and of course are in the herding group. They are a bit smaller but share many of the physical and behavioral qualities with their bigger Australian Shepherd cousins, and it's why I was interested in them. I love an active, thinking, doing kind of dog and didn't want too small a dog, so this breed is a good choice for me. I also didn't want a breed that was not AKC recognized since that's the registry I like to use for so many reasons.

I am just getting started, learning the lines and breeders. I really want to thank the breeders who helped me get started, especially Ashley Lindauer and Jenny Tidwell for their help and selling me dogs! Stay tuned as I add a section for each of our dogs. Until then I will just add some cute photos of our Mini Americans enjoying life.

UPDATE MARCH 2019 - I NOW HAVE MADE PAGES FOR OUR MAS BOYS AND GIRLS.
