How big should my 13 year old mini Aussie be?
Our 13″ toy only gets 1/3 c in the morning and 1/4 at night. Several years ago my vet said that my mini Aussie was overweight at 30 pounds. I found that by changing his food to a high protein, grain-free one did the trick over the course of a year.
What should I expect from a mini Australian Shepherd?
In general the mini Australian Shepherd is likely to be easily trained, loyal to its owners, and aims to please. But, a bored and lonely Aussie of any size can be quite destructive in the home! Any Aussie may be wary of strangers. You’ll need to socialize a mini to ensure that they do not become aggressive or nippy toward non-family members.
How much weight did mini Aussie lose in 3 months?
Losing only 1 lb in 3 months was not encouraging. Also, he has a 1 acre yard, and plays out there with the border collie, chasing him and his aussie sister. We do walk, but he has breathing issues (weight possibly), and a chronic limp that comes and goes.
How often should I brush my Mini Australian Shepherd?
With their long and shaggy double-coats, mini Australian Shepherd shedding is nothing to sneeze at. During their seasonal shedding season, you’ll need to brush a mini Aussie daily. Weekly brushing during non-peak shedding will keep their coat from tangling or matting. Aussies come with a lot of hair.

When is the best time to feed my mini Aussie?
We feed our mini 1 c in the morning and 1/2 in the evening. That way she gets the most calories for the day when she is active and not at night when she is sleeping.
