This is not a real breed. It is merly the same breed scale down they should go in the same article. CHIMES

It has been considered a stand alone breed since the 1960s. Many breeds out there are simply smaller versions of larger dogs, for example the Schnauzer comes in 3 different sizes - all of which are considered Breeds. - Trysha ^(talk) 01:35, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'll admit that it depends on who you talk to. Breeders who are specifically working towards a mini aussie and their many fans who own them (and often run them in agility) consider it to be different from a regular Aussie. Many regular Aussie breeders don't want regular aussies to be associated with the minis and so are quite happy to consider them distinct. Others don't believe that there is or should be a difference. However, there are so many Mini Aussies out there that we can't ignore it as a breed, even if it's not in regular kennel club registies. They might not want to be, as the regular Aussie & border collie, e.g., didn't want to be for a long time. Elf | Talk 03:08, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is a seperate breed from the Australian Shepherd not a variety. Not one major registry, this includes the ARBA, UKC, AKC, ASCA, Canadian Kennel Club, and others, recognize a size variety of the Australian Shepherd. Please show me, besides MASCA and NAMASCA (or whatever their name is today) a registry that recognizes a size variety of the Australian Shepherd otherwise I will change this page every time I see the word variety December 26, 2005

Need links to prove AKC, UKC claims

Can someone provide links that show that AKC and/or UKC recognize the mini as a breed? I can't find it--ACK list of breeds, [UKC list of breeds. Thanks. Elf | Talk 18:44, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

UKC at one time would allow Miniature Australian Shepherds to be registered as Australian Shepherds. Recently (4-06) the UKC decided that they would no longer continue this policy. See UKC's list of accepted registries

it is not currently accepted by the major show registries, however the national stock dog registry serves as the registry of choice. There is significant pressure from many herding dog groups for herding breeds to NOT to be recognized by a major show registry (AKC, UKC), since it is thought that the working quality of the dogs will decline in favor of "conformationally correct" dogs (for instance, the third picture may be a sound working dog, but he is disqualified from show as a mismark, since he has no color around one eye)

Pictures

What needs to be done to have some additional pictures added for this page? While the red tri is a cute dog a variety of miniature sized aussies would be better.

first person?

This article suffers from first person and clearly un-encyclopedic information, especially the Appearance section. If the author is watching, please clean this up asap. --Jmeden2000 20:11, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
