About Mini Aussies
Boldheart Water Dogs
The miniature Australian shepherd is the smaller version of the standard aussie,
having the same traits as there larger counter parts.  Boldheart is striving toward
combining  the best of the show bloodlines with the great herding blood lines.  Our dogs
have the looks to win in the conformation ring and the instinct and disposition to do an
honest days work whether on a ranch working livestock or in the agility ring, doing fly
ball, frisbee, herding or just cuddled up next to you on the couch. They are a great
family addition.  Our minis have been bred down from champion standard lines with
both show and working bloodlines, retaining all of the wonderful qualities of their
larger contemporaries, but in a smaller package.  The only difference between the
standard and the mini is the size. Standards are usually between 18 to 24"s  with the
mini standing between 14 to 18"s.
Mini aussies are wonderful companions, being loyal and loving.  They are protective
yet fun loving and always ready to go on a new adventure.  Boldheart is concerned
about raising healthy puppies.  Toward this goal, we guarantee our puppies. We have
our breeding boy's and girl's hearts and patellas cleared, hips OFA'd and their eyes
cleared before breeding.  We also have the puppie's hearts, patellas and eyes checked
at 8 weeks of age.  Our puppies will be up to date on their shots and worming and will
have been evaluated at 8 weeks of age.
If you are looking for a wonderful companion and constant shadow, this breed could be
for you.   Mini aussies are the perfect size to go with you and enjoy all of your
activities.
