Sassy is a Mini Australian Shepherd born June 9, 2009. This girl has a very sweet temperament even though she can be shy on first meeting. She is very quick to get over her shyness and come right up to you. She has no nippy issues and gets along well with other dogs. We have found that most of the Aussies here currently are crate trained. Sassy is spayed, heartworm negative and current on shots, heartworm and flea prevention. 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.
