Both ASCA (http://asca.org/ASCA+News) and USASA; the AKC's Parent Club for The Australian Shepherd (http://www.australianshepherds.org/miniaussie.html), have taken official stands pertaining to the Mini Aussie, and it's acceptance as a variety/separate breed. Don't be fooled by misleading information; please take a moment and read their statements.
