Welcome to the blog for Southern Star Mini Aussies, now also known as Miniature American Shepherds, affectionally called "Wiggle Butts". This is a wonderful breed that is very intelligent, loyal and can be somewhat active and may be reserved with strangers. Many excel in performance events such as herding, agility, disc dog, flyball, dock diving, rally, conformation, and enjoy most being your best buddy. Mini Aussies range in size from 14"-18" top of shoulder and 20-40lbs. The smaller versions are referred to as Toy Aussies. These fur-kids are very much like potato chips and you can't have just one. If you would like to be owned by an Aussie, we would love to talk to you.

Styx aka "Cody" Back Home in New Jersey

Thanks to this wonderful family for flying to Texas just to pick up thier special lil guy....   So, glad he was quiet on the plane !! :)

Hi Leslie.

You were right....Cody deserved the Quiet Traveler Award.  He did 
great through the plane ride and both car rides.  The airport was very 
quiet.  I was carrying him and had him on my lap so was a little 
worried they would say something but they just wanted to take pictures 
of him.

He's settling in great, as well.  The biggest challenge is at night.  
He's not particularly fond of being confined.  I am putting his food, 
treats, etc, in his crate.  He keeps one foot out at all times to keep 
his options open.

Last night was the battle of the wills between Cody and 2 of my 
daughters.  Luckily they won out but not easily!  During the day he 
loves being around us and has been doing great with his 
housebreaking.  He is also doing great with my daughter's cat, Mimi.

He goes to the vet's tomorrow just for a quick check and I'd like for 
his first visit there to be shot free.

We'll send pictures!

Thanks for starting us off on such a great footing.  It makes all the 
difference.

Carolyn  & Doug
