Australian Shepherd Size

I am worried about the size of my Australian Shepherd Puppy. She is 3 months old, and around 12-13 pounds. She is about 13 inches tall. I am concerned that she may be a Miniature Aussie. Has anyone had an Aussie of this size grow into a 40 pound dog? Thanks, Kevin Gray.

Why concerned?
by: Viv

Why are you concerned it might be a minnie aussie?! I own a mini aussie and he is the sweetest boy! They are just as wonderful as a full size only in a more compact package. I hope you enjoy your puppy no matter what size he is.
Mini Aussie?!
by: Taryn

I have a 5 month, male, mini aussie. He's around 14 lbs now and is expected to grow to 25lbs. Both parents were on site at the breeder - mom was 20 lbs, dad was 25. We didn't weigh them, this is waht the breeder told us.
Meant another 1 1/2 year mini aussie owner the other day. His aussie was a lb lighter than ours at the same age and hit 30 lbs. Stopped growing around 1 year of age. A well-bred mini is no different than the full-size other than just that - the size. I am enjoying my aussie, Wally, relaxing comfortably on my lap while he can still keep up with and even outrun some of the adult dogs already. Best doggy EVER!

My Aussie is 4 years old and weighs about 40lbs. She was a rescue and I got her when she was 9 months old so I don't know how big she was as a young puppy. I was able to track some info on her and I know she is not a mini, just a smaller Aussie. Maybe that is what you have too. Did you see the parents?

I have the same worry. My aussie is not a mini (I saw both her parents and they were of normal size). Yet, she is 10 weeks today and only weighs 7 lbs. I still have no idea how big she will get but I would love someone to comment if they have had experience with this!
I have the same Question!!
by: Nicole

I have a 5-month old male aussie that is only 20lbs. I have seen his parents and they were both around 50lbs. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE my little boy, and I don't really care if he ever gets bigger, I'm just a little concerned there may be something wrong with him. I have had 2 other aussies in the past that were close to 40lbs by the 5-month mark. Is my puppy a late bloomer, and may still grow to the size of his parents, or do you think he is just way smaller than the rest of his litter? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
