You joke about Miniature GSD's but I have seen them advertised in the past. 
I've also read about them years ago in a magazine in Germany that every once 
in a while a bitch will throw a dwarf (Miniature) GSD and that all the 
responsible breeders were euthanizing these at birth.   I saw a picture once 
of a 6" tall GSD - honest to God!  I have a GSD statue that is bigger than 
that.  Can you just imagine how the sheep would laugh when a 6" tall GSD 
wants them to move?  Or better yet, in a Schutzhund trial, do you think the 
helper would even notice the GSD-gnat that was attached to his arm?
What is the world coming to???

    I'm not going to argue about it...as far as I'm concerned, and many
others agree, there is no need for a Miniature Aussie or
a Mini Sheltie, either.  If anyone can explain why these would be good to
have, then I want to know why there aren't minis in
every breed...including German Shepherds.  Gee, in this breed we don't even
want white dogs, and they are part of the breed...
we may as well start accepting Puggles, while we're at it.
