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.

Kiss aka Gypsy Arrives in Montana

Leslie,
Caption for the photo would be "Good fences make good neighbors". Jake can play rough so we'll see when we think they can be together. We'll supervise some outdoor play later today. But we see she can play rough herself sometimes.
After a good night's sleep for  all, she is so playful and challenging Jake thru the fence this morning. Her appetite is good, and all seems well with her. Still want her to have time to get her bearings, get confident in new surroundings, and over any stress from yesterday's flight.
Both are being goofy as all get out. She will definitely hold her own with the terrier when she just gets a bit bigger. She'll soon be larger than him! Boy won't he be surprised. It's clear they enjoy each other's company.
 
And what a personality this girls got! Wow! Just a perfect addition to our family.
 
Thanks again for everything,
Lee
