Everything You Need to Know About Mini Aussie Dogs

4. Eye and Coat Colors

Mini Australian Shepherds have an alert, intelligent facial expression. Their almond-shaped eyes may be brown, amber, or blue or a combination of these colors. Look closely, and you’ll see tiny flecks of color or marbling that may be different in each eye. The darker-coated dogs have black pigmentation around the eyes, as well. The Mini Aussie’s medium-textured coat is silky and beautiful. It ranges from slightly wavy to straight, with feathering up and down the legs. They shed quite a bit. Male dogs usually have a heavier mane of fur around the neck than females. These dogs have a wide range of coat colors, including blue merle, black, red merle, red, and tan. Most have white fur accents, but some do not.
