Bernd Settnik/Picture Alliance/Getty Image The American Stock Dog Registry, for instance, has stuck with the name “miniature Australian shepherd.” The American Kennel Club, a purebred registry that dates back to the late 19th century and sanctions events like the National Dog Show and the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, considers Australian shepherds to be a separate breed and calls the smaller version the “miniature American shepherd.” A very good mini Aussie visits a class in Germany. The distinction between the two comes down to a piece of paper: Breeders who are fastidious about documenting the bloodline of their dogs participate in registries that guarantee parentage, but not all registries agree on a name for this particular dog. Miniature Australian and American shepherds are the same thing, and many people refer to them interchangeably. We begin with the only slightly confusing matter of this dog breed’s name, because it’s an important factor in its ascent. Instead, its rise can be traced to its winning personality and looks, and the politics of dog breeding. The mini Aussie has had no such pop culture flashpoint in recent history.

Why you’re seeing it everywhere: Amanda Leland, a miniature Australian shepherd breeder in Arkansas, recalls a craze for huskies after the animated movie Balto came out in 1995, and a flurry of excitement over spotted pups in the wake of the 1996 live-action remake of 101 Dalmatians (and its 2000 sequel, 102 Dalmatians). As with any cute domesticated animal, they’re all over social media too.
Where it is: Wherever you normally find dogs (at the park, on the street, and on the couch with or without permission).
A mini Aussie runs through a slalom obstacle. They’re smaller than full-size Australian shepherds - 14 to 18 inches tall and roughly 20 to 40 pounds, versus more than 18 inches and 40 to 60-plus pounds - and have wide variation in the color of their eyes, which can be mismatched or marbled in shades of bright blue, brown, and hazel and mottled coats, which can be blue-gray, red, black, or white. Extremely smart, athletic, and loyal (a “Velcro” dog, to quote one breeder), these herding dogs have become popular pets in recent years. What it is: Miniature Australian shepherds, also known as miniature American shepherds, arguably the dog breed of the moment. You know that thing you’ve been seeing all over the place?
