Answer #3

They are virtually two sides of one coin…They are both tireless workers, both longer haired, probably shed the same amount, they are about the same size, and have the same temperments.

If you get either one of these breeds, you’ll have a VERY active…VERY smart dog, who will need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, or they will figure out ways of entertaining themselves (none of which will be to your liking).

They do breed mini-Ausrailian Sheps…which are just a smaller version of the larger one. You can Google them.

I LOVE Aussies! I just got an aussie mix pup and he is perfect! He is 14 weeks now and fully trained. He never needs a leash or has accidents in the house! He knows a bunch of tricks already too :) To compare both breeds though, they are relatively the same as far as coat type, work ethic, temperment and such. Another plus to aussies though is that they come in two sizes - minuature or regular.
