Miniature American Shepherd puppies for sale across Canada

Breed history

The Miniature American Shepherd, or "Mini American," originated in the United States as a smaller version of the Australian Shepherd. In the late 20th century, breeders selectively downsized Australian Shepherds to create a compact and versatile herding dog suited for smaller spaces and urban lifestyles. Officially recognized as a separate breed in 2015, the Mini American retains all the intelligence, agility, and devotion of its larger counterpart, making it a popular choice for active families and herding enthusiasts alike.
