Evaluating Mini Australian Shepherd Puppies OK

By Georgia Diaz


If you're thinking of mini Australian shepherd puppies OK, you'll find a registered breeder by visiting the state or national breed association website. Dealing with a reputable breeder is one of the precautionary steps you should take when selecting a puppy. This popular miniature breed is perfect for those who live in suburbia or in apartments.

It's important to make sure the breed you favor is suited to your lifestyle. You can find dogs who love to hunt or prefer to fetch, who need space to run or like to lie around all day, who are territorial or who love everyone, who are hard to train or known for tractability.

Aussies make great family dogs, intelligent working partners on the ranch, and excellent competitors at agility, herding, or obedience trials. Breeders claim that the minis have all the qualities of the standards wrapped in a much smaller package. Their heart is big enough to tackle any herding job, and they love other challenges more suited to their stature.

They also excel at playing with children. There're a few things they need in order to do any job well. They love people and want to be with them as much as possible. They need a lot of vigorous exercise. Their thick coats need weekly brushing. They like to be in the center of things and do best with a sense of purpose. They're intelligent and want to please, so training's easy and makes everyone's life easier.

It's difficult to evaluate a cute puppy that hasn't developed fully. It's of paramount importance to see at least the mother of a litter, so it's sensible to visit a registered breeder rather than a pet store which only shows the litter. It's also better in that you'll be assured of getting the quality you want in a purebred.

Getting a puppy is a long-term commitment which will demand a lot of time, money, and love. You don't want to fall in love with a dog that suffers from allergies, seizures, or genetic defects. A responsible breeder will have mated two dogs that are free from defects and have the health records to prove that. A puppy should also have a health certificate, showing it has had all required shots as well as x-rays and physical exams to rule out things like hip dysplasia, heart problems, patella deformity, or eye defects.

There are conditions which are actually life threatening or impairing, and others that are merely distressing for both animal and owner. Inherited heart defects can shorten the dog's lifespan, while hip dysplasia and patella deformities are painful. Allergies are annoying, but they also cause serious skin disorders like hot spots and constant itching. Eye problems, mouth deformities, and epileptic seizures are other things to guard against.

Mini Australian shepherd puppies OK make wonderful pets, great show dogs, fierce competitors, and capable service dogs. With some commonsense precautions, you can find your own personal best friend in the Sooner state.
