Embarrassing...was at a show in May w/ a few non-dog-show friends and the husband pointed to a dog and asked "what breed is that?". I had no idea lol!

I had no idea there was such a thing until I found out some time later in class what it was. It looked like a two month old puppy to me. I thought it was doing REALLY good for its age in its puppy class. But then I found out it was 9 months old...;o) Strange looking to me then. Kathy Sater-Partch Hi; After reading Carolyn's post about AKC and the White GSD's as a new breed in our lifetime, I though that I would tell you about a new breed that AKC approved in May. They are called the Miniature American Shepherd. Any idea of what the are or how they came to be? Well, they were called the Miniature Australian Shepherd who's Club was started in 1990, now as of May of 2011 they will be known as the Miniature American Shepherd and a separate breed.
