The Miniature American Shepherd (MAS) descends from one of America's favorite breeds, The Australian Shepherd. What makes them so distinct is their compact size of an average of 13-18 inches at the shoulder and roughly 20-40 pounds. The Mini American Shepherd is a true herding breed by nature. However, what makes a Miniature American Shepherd a great family pet for any household is their versatility! Not only are they a perfect fit for an adventurous family, they also make great city pets due to their compact size, high trainability, loyalty and temperament. If provided sufficient exercise, Mini American's make great lap dogs, begging for your attention and cuddles at home.
