      I am so glad you said that! Me and my Aussie Jersey who is 6months old , we’re outside I was on the phone with my sister telling her I don’t know what happens to JERSEYS balls I never let her bring in so they have to be around here but I have looked everywhere so she was laying under my chair after I get off the phone she has slipped away and here she comes with her ball! my sister said coincidence. Well Jersey get a little respiratory infection and she had not pooped in a couple of days because she wasn’t eating well so after the vet visit she had antibiotics and something for her sore throat but still hadn’t pooped , well her and I were laying on my bed I called my vet and told him those exact words he says come back so before I can get up and put my shoes on Jersey rings the bells on the door so I taker out where she pooped and peed. cowikidink? I think not!!!!! Lol. They know what your sayin and some things you don’t say

      Minis were created by breeding pomeranians and Pamplona to full size aussies, so the possibility of full size or true size are there. Som will argue this But 30 yrs ago this started and many times had people wanting to buy my working stock pups for this purpose. No Sale only to ranches or trials. Mini aussies or amercian shepherd as they call them now. I'm still waiting to see them title A.S.C.A not accepted

    A trick to know if your dog is overweight is: Make a fist and feel your knuckles, if your dog's ribs feel the same your dog is underweight. If you stretch your hand and you feel your knuckles and normally if your dog is fit your dog ribs should feel the same. If you can't feel your dog ribs he/she is obviously overweight.

    My mini-aussie is crazy for people food~ So, I started making her homemade dogfood! Usually ground beef, sweet potatoes, carrots, and wild rice with a little dog approved spices (she seriously seems to notice when I forgot to season before offering her some!) But I still mix it with her kibble because I think it is good for her to keep eating dry dog food!

    • @shevykat
      @shevykat Před 2 lety

      Honestly don't worry about dry kibble unless it is a very high quality and you want to make sure your pup gets to eat as much as he wants. I did what you did with making homemade and its really the best for your fur baby. And yes, they do love seasoning! My Mick likes tacos and spaghetti, LOL.

    My guess was 35 lbs. Frankie is clearly not overweight, his shape is just perfect ! :D My aussies's dad is a big mini and the mother is a small standard. My pup is the biggest of her litter with a 52 lbs at 12 months, her smallest sister is about 30 lbs. She completely outgrew her parents. When she was born she already looked twice as big as the other puppies. Anyway no matter the size of the aussie, the energy level remains the same ! :D

      I have an Aussiedoodle also. She had a litter of 10 puppies before I got her from rescue. She is just a beatiful, tall, slim, silly girl now...no more puppies for her. She is 43 pounds and 18" tall at the shoulders. Her pups ranged from 23 to 43 pounds, some of them are much shorter than mama. We are careful to brush her at least twice a week as that fur can easily start getting tangles and mats in it. People always are surprised that her coat is wiry feeling when longer, instead of soft like when it is shorter (after groomed).

    The food my mini aussie puppy is on right now is Orijen small breed puppy mix, and I honestly highly recommend it. My puppy is highly food motivated, but won't eat what he doesn't love, so it was difficult for me to find a brand that was good quality, but was also "good enough" for my dog. He's pretty healthy right now, and I know I've got Orijen to partly thank for that.

    Very good points! Muscle is heavier than fat! Every dog, and every person, is built differently. Being over the "average" weight doesn't mean your overweight, it could be due to different body structure and muscle tone. It's all about the body condition! How much the dog eats depends on how much exercise the dog eats, their age (puppies need more!), and their weight.

    My mini-Ausie Mick is 15 + yrs. and he has gotten where he cannot get up without help. I knew he probably had arthritis, but I also thought he was WAY overweight. 2yrs ago he weighed 52 lbs. and he was very overweight. I didn't put him on a strict diet but just tried to be more aware of what he was eating. I also changed his food to one for overweight older dogs. He just in the last few months got to where he couldn't get up and it turns out that he has pretty severe arthritis in his back hips, but he is weighing only 43.5 lbs. and the vet said he was not too overweight but that if he lost a couple more lbs. it would be ok and probably help. I am putting him on a medicine for his arthritis too while we wait for his blood work results. He seems to be doing ok for being over 15 yrs. which is great news since the AKC say's the average life span of a mini-Ausie is 12-13 yrs. I happened across Frankie To The Moon looking up info on weight for his breed and enjoyed some of the videos that are giving good advice and accurate information. Thanks!

    My mini is overweight by a lot, she is 46 pounds and she should be 38 pounds. Unfortunately where I live the dogs have no where to run and must be leashed. I feel terrible about her weight as it is my fault from too many treats and little pieces of people food when I eat. I am limited as far as running or jogging and can only take her on short walks because of my bad knee. The dog park up the road has aggressive dogs and I am not keen on taking her there. I have been giving her a 1/2 cup of Royal Canin Gastrointestinal kibble as the fat content is low. I chop up celery, carrots and cucumber to fill the cup. My dogs name is Chloe and she's a mini Aussie black tri. Any help you can suggest would be appreciated, thank you.

    I did a lot of research on the breed - the difference between a miniature Aussie compared to other « miniature » breeds is that Aussies are not cross-bred with a smaller breed of dog - the smallest dogs from the breed were bred in order to produce dogs on the smaller size but genetically they are the same as regular sized Australian shepherds. But just like humans, you can have two 5’2 parents somehow produce a 6 ft kid or also have two 6’ parents produce a kid who is 5’2 in adulthood. So at this point he’s not really a « mini » he’s just an Aussie. My Aussie’s parents were in the 40 lb range and considered as « small standards ». At the end of the day unless you’re competing it doesn’t really matter - that 5 lb difference from 35 to 40 lbs that people use to separate minis from standards is negligible compared to the variability in the breed between 40-80 lbs.

    Frankie is beautiful! We have a four year old male"mini" Aussie…. His mother was large, his father small. Riley is 48 lbs! A female litter mate is half his size. Riley’s not overweight either, gets lots of exercise and mental stimulation, fun stuff. We just quit saying he’s a mini. Like those little sponges you drop in water and they just keep growing and growing.

  • @danielacrivelli483

    Ciao have you tried to put some kibbles in a glass of water and see if they completely melt? This was one thing an old vet told me years ago it is a very good way to check the quality of the food..I've done this test with lots of kibbles and found out the ones that melt this is a sign of what happens in the stomach of the dog if the food melt it means it will be digested completely in case the kibble acts like a spong and remains like a "marshmellon" for hours it is not a good sign because the same will happen in dog's stomach and it won't be digested properly ..hugs from Italy and my 3 Aussie 🤗

    i’m looking into good dog foods & am finding a lot of them have chicken meal or turkey meal. in trying to find out more about it, it is rendered as meat that has been ground up and includes clean flesh, skin and or bone. Do you know what the difference between meal and meal by product is? Just confused i guess!

    My mini Aussie ended up at nearly 80 pounds, your dog is closer to a standard. Mine it would say she was a Maxi, but I just lost her. The worst pain and grief One can feel. But on a good note I just 2 puppies, one blew Merle, and the other a red Merle. It helps to patch my heart.

    dehydrated chicken and chicken meal are the same thing. Chicken meal is just dehydated and ground up chicken. Chicken meal byproduct is just dehydrated and ground up parts of the chicken that are used often (like necks, liver, feet).

    Thats so interesting! My pup is like 10 months now, and he weighs around 50 pounds (22 kg). But the „rib“-test is normal, i can feel his ribs and the vet says hes normal too. In Denmark the standard range for this breed is between 25-32 kg for male dogs. I would even feel like, Frankie is a light weight! Mine is also a very light eater and his kibble gets untouched for a while over a couple of days. (He gets allthough natural snacks - which might cause in him not being hungry)
    I remember talking on your channel about the difference between a mini and a standard. Since we dont label our aussies here in Denmark after that, I might actually think I got a standard aussie then... who knows 😂
