In recent months it is believed that Toy and Miniature Australian Shepherds have been brought into Australia. Some of the people involved in this are current executive members of the Australian Shepherd Association of NSW. This has culminated with reports of Toy Australian Shepherds being included as part of the Australian Shepherd breed demonstration at the Sydney Pet & Animal Expo which is an event endorsed by Dogs NSW.
To protect the integrity of the Australian Shepherd and prevent the recognition of Toy and Mini Australian Shepherds in Australia, we the undersigned concerned Australian Shepherd owners, exhibitors and breeders call upon the ANKC to reject any application to have Toy and Miniature Australian shepherds recognised as pure bred dogs in Australia.
The momentum behind this petition highlights a significant commitment to preserving the standard of our breed. This collective response confirms that the integrity of the Australian Shepherd remains a top priority for our community.

Protect the breed integrity. Once they are recognized there is no going back.

Ridiculous. Let’s keep the breed standard pure. We don't need these tiny designer versions messing up the lines.

Aussies are meant to be a working breed. Toy sizes are just a cash grab by breeders who dont care about the actual dog.

So frustrated that people in power are pushing this. They should know better than to promote non-standard dogs.

Keep the ANKC standards strict. Once you allow these toy versions in it ruins the whole reputation of the breed.
