Shepherds found work in the US rodeo
circuit was selectively bred to further
reduce their size the new breed was
originally called the miniature

especially popular with equestrians
traveling to horse shows as their
intelligence loyalty and size made them
excellent travel companions the

built for hard work on punishing terrain
they have an average life expectancy of
12 to 13 years and miniature American
shepherds are generally healthy dogs and
responsible breeders test their stock
for health conditions communicating with
other dedicated breeders to work
together for breed health and
preservation of the breeds unique
qualities regular visits to the vets for
check-ups and parasites control help to
ensure the dog has a long and healthy
life the miniature American Shepherd has
a double coat with a longer outer coat
and a woolly undercoat the breed sheds a
fair amount even more so during shedding
season which can occur once or twice a
year weekly brushing and daily during
shedding season will help to remove the
dirt and loose hairs and keep the dog
looking his best
maxvill tangles can be worked out of a
slicker brush or metal comb as with all
breeds the nails should be trim
regularly as overly long nails can cause
the dog discomfort
exceptional agility combined with
strength and stamina allows for working
over a variety of terrain this highly
versatile energetic dog makes an
excellent athlete with superior
intelligence and a willingness to please
those to whom he is devoted he is both a
loyal companion and a biddable worker
which is evident in his watchful
expression the miniature American
Shepherds are active and athletic and
they need a moderate amount of exercise
but or
so very adaptable to their family's way
of life they do well as City dogs as
long as their owners provide sufficient
exercise they enjoy outings with their
people that will occupy both their mind
and body they enjoy and excel in many
canine events including obedience
agility and tracking as with all breeds
early socialization and puppy training
classes are recommended and helped to
ensure the dog grows into a
well-adjusted well-mannered companion
however these are extremely intelligent
and willing to please and make the
miniature America's Shepherd highly
trainable and they'll reach their best
potential as a companion when taught at
least basic obedience today's video is
