My Mini Aussie's Color

by Anne
(Nj)

On my Aussie Myles ICA reg he is stated tri red. I have not seen any Aussies his color and it's only really 2 colors. Is this normal? He is also 9 weeks old 9" and 5.2lbs. I also don't think that is normal. The vet did say he needs to eat more though. Thanks in advance.

My mini aussie's color
by: Anne Calmes

Hey,
It is hard to tell from the picture but your puppy looks like either a really light red or
a sable colored aussie, which is not a desired or recognizeable color in aussies. If it only has 2 color...it is a "bi" colored puppy, not a "tri" colored puppy.

Your puppy's size is more like a "toy" size, from what you describe. I have Standard aussies so I can only tell you what I know about the breed standard.

Please feel free to e-mail me if you need more information.

Yellow Aussie
by: Anonymous

Hello- I agree with Anne for the most part. The only thing I would add is that I think your puppy is most likely the color known as "Yellow," which (along with sable) is not a recognized color according to breed standard. They do show up in litters on occasion, but they are not considered "breeding" or "show eligible" due to their color. Very pretty color, but it is recommended to spay/neuter Aussies of colors other than those noted in the Aussie breed standard. To my knowledge there are not any health risks associated with the Yellow color, though there are some health issues that are within the Aussie breed in general that you should acquaint yourself with. Best of luck with your puppy!
