�� Meet Quigley!

Male Mini Australian Shepherd Puppy

Quigley is a happy, bright, and endlessly fun little guy who is always ready for his next adventure! This smart mini Aussie pup loves to play, explore, and keep busy—and he does it all with an adorable confidence that makes everyone smile.

Quigley plays wonderfully with the resident dogs and isn’t afraid to try to tell them he’s the boss (don’t worry… they all know better ��). His intelligence shines through daily—he’s picking up house training like a champ, holding it until he can get outside whenever possible. While he will use a potty pad when needed in his play area, he definitely prefers doing his business outdoors.

This boy is high energy and thrives with structure. He benefits from scheduled downtime and does great settling into his play area or kennel for a much-needed afternoon nap. Once he’s rested? He’ll happily let you know it’s time to GO, GO, GO!

✨ And let’s talk about those HOPS—Quigley loves to hop, bounce, and pounce on everything in sight. It’s impossible not to laugh watching him play.

When the day winds down, Quigley flips the switch from playful to precious. He becomes a total snuggle bug, soaking up cuddles, giving sweet kisses, and curling up close to his people.

�� Quigley is looking for a forever home that can keep up with his energy, nurture his smarts, and enjoy both his playful spirit and his loving heart.

Could this joyful little hopper be your perfect match?

WHAT THE AKC SAYS ABOUT THE MINI AUSSIE:

The Miniature American Shepherd resembles a small Australian Shepherd. True herders in spite of their compact size, Minis are bright, self-motivated workers and endearingly loyal and lively companion dogs who have an affinity for horses. The Miniature American Shepherd shares many physical traits with its forebear the Australian Shepherd'¿only on a smaller scale. Females stand between 13 and 17 inches at the shoulder; males range from 14 to 18 inches. Despite their size, Minis are every inch a true herding dog: energetic, versatile, rugged, and extremely bright. The eye-catching coat comes in black, blue merle, red, and red merle. (The merle will exhibit in any amount marbling, flecks, or blotches.) Minis move with the smooth and agile step of a dog built for hard work on punishing terrain.

Miniature American Shepherds are active and athletic, and they need a moderate amount of exercise but are also very adaptable to their family's way of life. They do well as city dogs as long as owners provide sufficient exercise. They enjoy outings with their people that will occupy both their mind and body. They enjoy and excel in many canine events, including obedience, agility, and tracking.

As with all breeds, early socialization and puppy training classes are recommended and help to ensure that the dog grows into a well-adjusted, well-mannered companion. Intelligent and willing to please, the Miniature American Shepherd is highly trainable and will reach his best potential as a companion when taught at least basic obedience.
