Miniature Australian Shepherds are 14 to 18 inches tall (at the shoulders) and range in weight from 15 to 35 pounds. Toy Australian Shepherds are under 14 inches tall (at the shoulders) and weigh up to about 20 pounds. Everyone seems to want to know how big/little a Toy Aussie really is. The best way to describe them is to take a 12 inch ruler and stand it up on end. That is about how tall a Toy Aussie will be at the shoulders. Some will be shorter and others will be taller but that is about how tall they are. The length of body is a few inches longer than the height. Some are finer boned and others are heavier boned. Most are about the same in weight as their height. If they are 12 inches tall they weigh about 12 pounds. The Toy Aussies are usually smaller than the average cat but some may weigh more because they are stockier built than a cat.
