Please read ALL of the following INFORMATION:
Our dog are "TOYS" in size, but first and foremost they are "AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERDS."
Our Little Australian Shepherds are not little Huskies, if left alone for long periods of time, they will miss their people, they are not Chihuahuas and don't need to be held all the time, they aren't Labs, whose main goals are to eat, and love everyone they meet. They enjoy being treated like Australian Shepherds. Aussies of all sizes live to please their people, they are very obedient, loyal & intelligent because they are so tuned in to people, they can sometimes be soft, or shy, or aloof with people they don't know. Some pups will be giggly right away, while others may like to take their time warming up to strangers. Some will be shy around children that move quickly and play loudly, others will join right in without a second thought. Whichever may be the case (within a day or even right away) your Australian Shepherd will form a strong bond with their people and be dedicated to them all the days of their lives! They are UNIQUE little dogs, You wont find any toy dog that is as smart, trainable, and eager to please as a Toy Australian Shepherd !
DONT LET THEIR SMALL SIZE FOOL YOU.....THESE ARE BIG INTELLIGENT DOGS IN A LITTLE PACKAGE

As well, unlike most toys that can often be strong willed, hard to house train, often un-wiling to interact with owners, and protest and whine when you try to change destructive behavior, or the Lab types that will chew the same wall/chair/shoes over and over and wag their tail as you are saying "NOOOO!", or the Husky types that wont acknowledge your existence when they are busy... Australian Shepherds are highly intelligent, easy to train, love to interact with their people, and will come when you call them.
SO... if you want a toy dog that has: above average intelligence; moderate shedding; minimum grooming; a strong desire to be with you; unfailing loyalty and love; a preference to be house trained; a highly trainable attitude to learn anything you want to teach; an easily developed love for car rides; a like for playing frisbee, catch, ball play, swimming, flyball, agility, hiking, walking or just about anything then a Toy Australian Shepherd is for you!
Although we believe a crate is an excellent tool to assist you in house breaking your new puppy, and is a safe place for puppy to wait if you can't give him/her your undivided attention, while your puppy is still a teething baby and learning manners and obedience.... It would break out hearts if we thought that one of our happy healthy puppies were taken somewhere and locked up in an isolated pen, crate, or stall and was forgotten! It is written that a good person is concerned for the welfare of their animals. It is our responsibility as humanity to watch over, care for, and enjoy our animals. We breed Toy Australian Shepherds to pass on to others to enjoy what we already have.... a small package with a ton of brains, loyalty, companionship, and love that lasts a lifetime.
