Before you know the difference between the Australian Shepherd and the Meteorite Border Collie, XiaoMeng wants to introduce you to another dog: the Mini Australian Shepherd.
This dog is very easy to identify, and it is a miniature version of the Australian Shepherd. This is an American modified dog that is more suitable for urban breeding than Australian Shepherds.

Although the mini Australian Shepherd is a scaled-down version, the amount of exercise, endurance, etc., can be compared with the original version. If you want to keep this dog, you can't be deceived by its petite appearance.
If a foreign owner has a backyard at home, he can let the dog run freely without worrying about its exercise. But if you live in a city apartment, the owner has to consider taking them out for a walk every day and consuming their exercise.
Although they are small, they can also play games such as throwing balls and frisbee.
If you want a mini Australian Shepherd, it's best to have plenty of time to exercise with them, or these little troublemakers will kill you at home.
In addition, the owner of a cat or other small animal in the home may not be suitable for raising this kind of dog, after all, it is not very friendly to other animals.
