Statement About Mini Aussies

The Australian Shepherd Club of the UK does not support the recent influx of 'Miniature Australian Shepherds' or certain individuals attempts to register 'Miniature Australian Shepherds' with the Kennel Club as Australian Shepherds.

The Australian Shepherd does not have breed 'varieties' and therefore does not recognise the Miniature Australian Shepherd or any other variety.

Since these dogs are not recognised in their country of origin USA by the American Kennel Club, then they cannot be verified as purebred dogs and should NOT be sold or purchased as such.
