Trapper is a mini Australian Shepherd born January 15, 2014. He is sweet, affectionate and playful. He can be a bit shy about running to greet you, but you can tell he so wants to be held and snuggled. He just stands and wiggles and wags all over when you talk to him. What can we say, he is just too cute. He is looking for an active family to call his own. Trapper will be current on medical for his age and ready for his new home April 19, 2014. The preferred height of this breed ranges from 14 to 18 inches (35 to 46 cm) at the withers and the weight is typically between 17 and 30 pounds (9 to 14 kg). Mini Aussies are easily trained, but their intelligence and drive require obedience training and plenty of interesting activity. They are easily trainable because they crave approval. Once given proper socialization they will thrive in a variety of environments, provided they have an adequate outlet for both physical and mental energy. If they are not allowed adequate stimuli they may become destructive. Because of their herding background, they also may have the tendency to try to herd people, especially small children, nipping at their heels. As long as this behavior is put in check when they are young, they will generally be fine. They are social dogs and form close attachments to their owner. As a result, some may suffer separation anxiety. Minis function well as a family dog, but their excessive energy may need to be checked around small children. They are generally great house dogs but do require a large amount of exercise. They are particularly apprehensive with strangers.
