By Tanisha Berg


This old breed was once used for herding only. Australian shepherds are known for their friendly nature and high intelligence, as well as for their lovely appearance.

Toy Australian Shepherd breeders OK offer adorable little puppies for sale.

There are three recognized smaller types of this lovely breed, Toy, Miniature ans Teacup. Teacup can reach up to ten inches, Toys are between ten and fourteen inches, and Miniature Shepherds will be over fourteen inches high. All these variations have their ancestors' characteristics, but are a little bit smaller, and more suitable for keeping in your home.

Toy Australian Shepherds come in four basic colors, black, red, blue merle and red merle. There are different variations combining these colors. For example, the dog can be in only two colors, black with white markings, or he can have three colors, black with white and tan markings. Red merle can also be red with white markings or red with both white and tan markings.

Females are highly appreciated, especially blue eyed merle type, with white and tan markings. It is not unusual that they have only one blue eye, while the other one is dark. This looks really interesting. Dogs with too excessive white markings aren't suitable for dog shows, but look equally appealing and are equally loyal, devoted and intelligent friends. With easy to maintain, straight or slightly wavy hair and beautiful nature, this really is an ideal family dog.

These dogs are generally quite healthy, but sometimes might have problems with their hips. Merle type might have problems with eyes and ears, because it is one of known characteristics of a gen that causes their unusual coloration. This won't be a problem if only one of your puppy's parents is merle type, but if they both are, this should be checked very early.

One thing is very important when it comes to this particular breed. Some dogs might have a gene called MDR1.

Toy Shepherds need regular exercise, and you need to take them for long walks every day. If you have a house with a yard, it won't be necessary.
