Posted by Liz on May 29, 2010 4:43 PM CST: Mini Aussies have a similar temperament to full size Aussies. They are very loyal & protective of their families. Since they are a high energy dog, they do require regular exercise or else they can become bored/destructive. Good dogs for herding or agility.
