I have a Mini. He'll be nine this month. Still is as energetic as a pup. We play frisbee a couple of times a day. I swear he understands most of what I say to him.
I am so glad you said that! Me and my Aussie Jersey who is 6months old , we’re outside I was on the phone with my sister telling her I don’t know what happens to JERSEYS balls I never let her bring in so they have to be around here but I have looked everywhere so she was laying under my chair after I get off the phone she has slipped away and here she comes with her ball! my sister said coincidence. Well Jersey get a little respiratory infection and she had not pooped in a couple of days because she wasn’t eating well so after the vet visit she had antibiotics and something for her sore throat but still hadn’t pooped , well her and I were laying on my bed I called my vet and told him those exact words he says come back so before I can get up and put my shoes on Jersey rings the bells on the door so I taker out where she pooped and peed. cowikidink? I think not!!!!! Lol. They know what your sayin and some things you don’t say
When you said , if you ever get a chance to pat him one day", i got tingles down my spine from excitement!!
ive watched all of your videos, and i love you and Frankie!!!!
My mini aussie weighs 40 lbs. She's a blue merle just like Frankie and has one blue and one brown eye! She's my stimulus puppy and I'm so happy I found your channel when I did lol. You and Frankie have given us so much insight and helped me be a better paw-rent. 😜
I have a 6 month Minnie blue Merle mini Australian shepherd…it’s hard to believe he’s going to get THAT big!
So glad Frankie is doing well. Your relationship with that precious boy is a sight to behold.
I just got an Australian Shepherd yesterday. She is so cute and super playful. I love her so much 😍
aww so excited and happy for you! congrats!
You just got your best friend.. congrats. 🥰
Same! They’re so cute!!
I am getting a mini aussie in 4 weeks! I can't wait, your channel has helped me so much with understanding the needs of this breed. Thank You so much!
ahh omg yess
You will be fine. Mini aussies are actually much more calm and less work driven than a standard Aussie and were bred that way...still they need lots of attention and something to do but a super rewarding and fun dog to have
@@johnnyp6202 do u think overall with thier health that they are expensive ?
aw wow thanks so much for the support! wishing you the best of luck with your floof
@@gabriela3430 From all my experience Aussies are generally a very healthy breed, There are some things they can screen for early especially ones with their hips. I do recommend spaying a female if you are getting one from my experience.
Awww Frankie is soooo cute... my minis are a lot smaller, and people always tell me they are toys but they are minis. I love how you addressed this topic, thank you!!!
Are they less energetic because they are smaller? Thanks ❤
Your videos with your dog is just so entertaining thanks for telling us a lot about aussies
Hugs to Frankie
I was going to say 38 lbs
He is so solid, healthy boy
Active and muscular.
Muscle weighs more than fat
I knew this
We love watching Frankie's videos. Our mini aussie is 9 months, 14" and 15 lbs. I guess he is on the smaller end of the mini range. My husband had been wondering Frankie's size. Our Blue and Frankie look so much alike!!! Thanks for the update!
A trick to know if your dog is overweight is: Make a fist and feel your knuckles, if your dog's ribs feel the same your dog is underweight. If you stretch your hand and you feel your knuckles and normally if your dog is fit your dog ribs should feel the same. If you can't feel your dog ribs he/she is obviously overweight.
(Sorry for my English, not my first language)
That’s a really good technique!
I just got my mini aussie, Dolly 3 days ago. She is the sweetest little puppy! I've been watching your videos for about a month now.
That is awesome!
I'm getting my mini this week they told me 20 to 30lbs. I don't really care though I'm just excited to have a puppy again after loosing both of mine to old age just days apart. You guys are awesome!
We’re getting a mini Aussie poodle mix (Aussie doodle) to join the family. Appreciate the high quality videos that are enjoyable to watch. Frankie looks like an amazing dog.
I have an Aussiedoodle also. She had a litter of 10 puppies before I got her from rescue. She is just a beatiful, tall, slim, silly girl now...no more puppies for her. She is 43 pounds and 18" tall at the shoulders. Her pups ranged from 23 to 43 pounds, some of them are much shorter than mama. We are careful to brush her at least twice a week as that fur can easily start getting tangles and mats in it. People always are surprised that her coat is wiry feeling when longer, instead of soft like when it is shorter (after groomed).
Fantastic you found the right food for Frankie
Just like people, you are what you eat
Dogs are not different.
Could have just been an ingredient in the old food that did not agree with Frankie
Smart move to change it up. Joey you are on top of things with Frankie, nice to see the beautiful relationship between man and friend.
You are both blessed to have each other.
My mini is like a toy. He’s 10 months and weighs 9.5 lbs and the vet thinks he might get 12-13 lbs. did a DNA test too. 60 something percent mini Aussie, 30 something percent Aussie and 3 percent border collie.
For size comparison my Australian Shepherd, Jack, just hit 40 lbs at 6 months. Very glad Frankie is doing better!
My mini-aussie is crazy for people food~ So, I started making her homemade dogfood! Usually ground beef, sweet potatoes, carrots, and wild rice with a little dog approved spices (she seriously seems to notice when I forgot to season before offering her some!) But I still mix it with her kibble because I think it is good for her to keep eating dry dog food!
Honestly don't worry about dry kibble unless it is a very high quality and you want to make sure your pup gets to eat as much as he wants. I did what you did with making homemade and its really the best for your fur baby. And yes, they do love seasoning! My Mick likes tacos and spaghetti, LOL.
I have a mini Australian shepherd as well, he just turned 6 months old and is 30lbs!! Not over weight and is very healthy ☺️
The food my mini aussie puppy is on right now is Orijen small breed puppy mix, and I honestly highly recommend it. My puppy is highly food motivated, but won't eat what he doesn't love, so it was difficult for me to find a brand that was good quality, but was also "good enough" for my dog. He's pretty healthy right now, and I know I've got Orijen to partly thank for that.
So many people recommended that brand on instagram!
its always a big thing when your fur child gets a great report from the doctors good stuff frankie be safe everyone
I have a 13 y/o mini black tri female who is 28 lbs. Her mama is 16 yrs. and is a standard at 45 lbs. She looks to be Frankie's size. Love my Aussies!! Very healthy, too! Thanks for your suggestion of kibble. I've been searching for a better food.
My aussie/border mix is 55lbs and hasn't gained any. I honestly thought he has mini-aussie in there instead. He looks exactly like Frankie with the build
Maybe he's got a little frankie in him.. the only way to check is to throw a fisbee at him
My Mini Aussie can totally relate to Frankie! Mine is 37 lbs and almost 1 year old. He's not overweight. His parents were 35-40lbs and 18 inches tall.
oh glad we are not alone on this one!
Awesome guys mine is 45lbs lean and muscular. Runs like a champ. Dr. Told me not to worry about weight but to just worry about composition
My guess was 35 lbs. Frankie is clearly not overweight, his shape is just perfect ! :D My aussies's dad is a big mini and the mother is a small standard. My pup is the biggest of her litter with a 52 lbs at 12 months, her smallest sister is about 30 lbs. She completely outgrew her parents. When she was born she already looked twice as big as the other puppies. Anyway no matter the size of the aussie, the energy level remains the same ! :D
Its feb of 2024 and i just came across this video and comments, our male mini aussie was born in 2021 to some friends of ours and was the only blue merle out of 5 males other 4 were black and white, was the biggest from birth, he will be 3 in march and was 40lbs by 7 months and is 47-50 lbs now, super good dog, his mom is around 17 lbs and dad ( dont know his dad) is around 23-27 lbs, guess we got the recessive gene dog lol,
Hey man just found your channel, my gf and i just got a lil baby aussie today and weve been watching your videos! Were also in Ottawa!
My first Mini Aussie hung around that 40lb mark. He would gain a couple pounds in winter from the lower activity level, and then run it off in the spring. My current 2 Mini American Shepherds are at about 30 and 32lbs. From my older dogs litter, the smallest pup is about 16-18lbs and they are 16 months old. So they are all sizes
Frankie's soooo sweet! He is also a natural scene-stealer.
I guessed 17kg and I had to look up lbs to kg after you mentioned his weight (I was so surprised haha)
Frankie is adorable and it's great to hear he's healthy too.
Could you do a video on your leash walking techniques? I'm interested in what you did and didn't do for Frankie and what your experience was like teaching him to walk on a loose leash
My aussie is 39 lbs as well! She's a standard blue merle. On the smaller side, for a standard I think.
For walks, I use a "MalsiPree Dog Water Bottle" found on amazon. Pretty convenient, then I don't have to bring a water bowl or pour water into my hands for them to drink. :D
love your doggo outdoor adventures! I'm looking to adopt a mini Aussie, I need a camping/outdoor partner besides my gf haha.. aaaand you def need a collapsible silicone water bowl with a carabiner. keep the videos up!
Love your vids so much
CUTE Frankie 🐶🐕🐶 different size, very interesting video 😍😍, SUPER LIKE from Brazil 👍🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷
Yoshi, the little yorkie, woof woof 🐶🐶🐶
That's so funny, our dog is also a very clean eater. She eats from right to left and you can see the "lines" where she stops. She used to be a stray dog and we adopted her when she was 6 months old, so we don't really know which breed she is, but she has some similarities with your mini aussie !
I am so happy he is doing better.💞💙💞
So happy I found this!! My big "mini" is 50lbs hahaha. He needs to drop a wii bit (approx 3lbs.) But he is soo active, 3 hours a day, and full of muscle.
Gotta calculate and take off the fluffy buns which adds about 5 lbs haha jk. But glad to hear Frankie is better! My mini Aussie is a cute little gal she’s 23 lbs but everyone says she’s too small. That just shows the range mini aussies have!
Love you cannel bro I have two aussies one toy aussie and on full size aussie..also got the kong Frisbee my aussie ruger loves it
So freaking cuteeeee
How beautiful and adorable is Frankie, I’m in love 🥰🐶
Thats so interesting! My pup is like 10 months now, and he weighs around 50 pounds (22 kg). But the „rib“-test is normal, i can feel his ribs and the vet says hes normal too. In Denmark the standard range for this breed is between 25-32 kg for male dogs. I would even feel like, Frankie is a light weight! Mine is also a very light eater and his kibble gets untouched for a while over a couple of days. (He gets allthough natural snacks - which might cause in him not being hungry)
I remember talking on your channel about the difference between a mini and a standard. Since we dont label our aussies here in Denmark after that, I might actually think I got a standard aussie then... who knows 😂
My 1.5 year old mini Aussie is only 17 pounds! She was the runt of the litter and is really healthy. I’ve never seen a smaller Aussie though.
Very good points! Muscle is heavier than fat! Every dog, and every person, is built differently. Being over the "average" weight doesn't mean your overweight, it could be due to different body structure and muscle tone. It's all about the body condition! How much the dog eats depends on how much exercise the dog eats, their age (puppies need more!), and their weight.
Great points!
So what was the bag lol you didn’t tell us I been looking for some good hiking gear I plan on taking my girl on hikes etc out is all on leash and all my girl Aussie looks like Frankie but 16 weeks old this weekend :) what’s a good leash for on leash hikes ? Would u suggest the one you use for Frankie now? I got my girl the Arcadia Trail harness.
Just to let you know, I shared your video so you should get a few more viewers! Wish I had found you page sooner. Thanks!
Love this video 😁
Thanks Hayden!
I have a Toy Aussie. He will be 11 months on the 3rd of June. His name is Huckleberry Finn, he is a red merle about half the size of Frankie at right at 15 pounds. He is full of it. The weather is finally starting to get better hear in New Mexico so hopefully we start getting out and exercise more.
Just got a blue Merle mini aussie paid 4k has pedigree and his parents are around 30lbs. He’s so playful and awesome!
I have a Australian shepherd what you do for their excessive shedding?? Thanks
Love your Aussie... he's adorable! Just a sidebar: a pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat... 1 pound. Muscle is more dense than fat, however. So, your little fur baby doesn't look fat, but he weighs an impressive amount due to his lean body mass. Good job on raising a beautiful, active/athletic fur baby. ❤
very informative, thanks for sharing your experience with a mini aussie shepard!! did you taped the ears? If so, how often and for how long & in which age gap?
I have a standard Aussie, 11 months old last weighed in at 43 pounds. And we feed 2 cups a day she gets about a 1 hour exercise daily. When we go on a long hike or play longer should she get a little more food that day?
Getting my puppy exactly a month from now! 13 days after my birthday! She's a blue merle mini aussie and I will be naming her Dakota
Omg I love that name!!!! Was considering it for my puppy as well. Have fun with her!!!! My puppy is now 10 weeks old (almost 11 omg time flies) and he’s a handful but so sweet and I love him so much already. You’ll love your Dakota!!! I ended up calling mine Pinto :)
@@noozart9911 ahhh thank you!! i'm super excited lol. its been about 2 years since my two cavaliers from the same litter died, and i'd had them since i was in 1st grade (8 or 9 i think). I initially wanted a rescue, but since we are living in my moms boyfriend's home, there was a size limit and 98% of the dogs in shelters or rescue are big.
i’m looking into good dog foods & am finding a lot of them have chicken meal or turkey meal. in trying to find out more about it, it is rendered as meat that has been ground up and includes clean flesh, skin and or bone. Do you know what the difference between meal and meal by product is? Just confused i guess!
Frankie is beautiful! We have a four year old male"mini" Aussie…. His mother was large, his father small. Riley is 48 lbs! A female litter mate is half his size. Riley’s not overweight either, gets lots of exercise and mental stimulation, fun stuff. We just quit saying he’s a mini. Like those little sponges you drop in water and they just keep growing and growing.
My 2 year old Mini is also 40 Lbs ( as a male, it was the anticipated weight ). The breeder told us to anticipate that size with the male
You have a beautiful doggo.
My mini-Ausie Mick is 15 + yrs. and he has gotten where he cannot get up without help. I knew he probably had arthritis, but I also thought he was WAY overweight. 2yrs ago he weighed 52 lbs. and he was very overweight. I didn't put him on a strict diet but just tried to be more aware of what he was eating. I also changed his food to one for overweight older dogs. He just in the last few months got to where he couldn't get up and it turns out that he has pretty severe arthritis in his back hips, but he is weighing only 43.5 lbs. and the vet said he was not too overweight but that if he lost a couple more lbs. it would be ok and probably help. I am putting him on a medicine for his arthritis too while we wait for his blood work results. He seems to be doing ok for being over 15 yrs. which is great news since the AKC say's the average life span of a mini-Ausie is 12-13 yrs. I happened across Frankie To The Moon looking up info on weight for his breed and enjoyed some of the videos that are giving good advice and accurate information. Thanks!
Can you make a video on the food you have been feeding Frankie from a puppy until now? I have a 5 month old Australian Shepherd / Border Collie and am interested in what brands produce good, high-quality kibbles!
You should check out this video that's of a pet nutritionalist ranking the best kibble ua-cam.com/video/Ekx6WGBFVak/v-deo.html
I'm personally feeding my puppy TLC dog kibble and plan to incorporate raw goat milk and some pureed pumpkin soon
Frankie was on PetKind as a pup! and we give him lots of oils, supplements and goat milk!
I too have a big mini aussie, she's super fit at 33 pounds and is almost 20 inches at the withers! She was the biggest of her litter too. I call her my maxi mini :D
Wow! She’s tall!
The fact that in the end they tried to do the sponge bob intro made me laugh, Fankie i love u
OMG OMG OMG OOMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG MG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG JOEY AND FRANKIE HEARTED MY COMMENT OMG OMG OMG OOMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
I have a female Aussie who is 21” tall and 48lbs. She is a big girl but still within the standard size of an Aussie. Not overweight. He is definitely a Mini American Shepherd aka Mini Aussie. Male Aussies can be up to 60 lbs. My first Aussie was a 19” female who weighed about 40lbs.
Love Frankie’s half smile. My Willow does that when she wants something lol!
My mini blue Merle is 40lb and he’s about 10 months. We also have his older brother that came from litter before we got the blue Merle, and he is 34lbs but he was the runt
of the litter. Blue Merle name is Mauka( towards the mountain in hawaiian) and the tri red name is Makai ( towards the sea)
I have a toy Aussie, doodle. He is 4 years old so much energy.
Aww he’s so cute! My lab is an overweight 90 pounds, he eats 2 cups a day and he’s slowly losing some
2 CUPS my goldendoodle eats 5 cups a day healthily and he isn’t overweight instead of starving your dog give him more exercise
@@MyMiracleMutts He gets a minimum 2 mile jog and a minimum 30 mins playtime daily, also his food is very high protein so he feels full
@@lindsey1688 okay phew! Sorry if I was rude😅
@@MyMiracleMutts Don’t worry, he has a very slow metabolism since maturing so he needs fewer calories (also neutered dogs gain pounds easier)
My standard Australian Shepherd is 55lbs! He’s a big healthy boy!! He’s taller and longer than Frankie. Frankie looks so healthy for size and honestly could pass for a standard 😂
I have a red merle male mini also at 20 inches and comes in at 39 pounds also. We will be adding to our pack a blue Merle male from the same breeder.
My mini aussie is 20 weeks right now and he's only 11lbs the vet said my might get 25 to 30lbs
❤I enjoyed video..my Aussie has a bobbed tail and his ears seem to stand up more than what I've seen...learning about?
Out of curiosity, how much did Frankie weigh around 4.5 months of age? I have a mini male sitting at 19.2 and wondering where he might land.
My Aussie mix is not food motivated and very picky. Where do you buy your Rawz dog food?
Bro I love your home and furniture
My 3 year old Standard Aussie Red merle "Loki" is huge, he's tall and sturdy 70lbs ,His dad "Tuff" and Mom "Ziggy" are Standard Aussies and big as well.
Will a miniature border collie Australian shepherd mix be the same size or larger?
My mini is 49lbs and 21” at the shoulder and just turned 2. All of his litter mates average 15” and 20-30 lbs. Vet says he is in excellent health but would like to see him down to 45lbs.
my mini Aussie is also 40 pounds! it's crazy! we were expecting him to be 25-30 pounds at max
How have the vet visits changed due to covid?
I did a lot of research on the breed - the difference between a miniature Aussie compared to other « miniature » breeds is that Aussies are not cross-bred with a smaller breed of dog - the smallest dogs from the breed were bred in order to produce dogs on the smaller size but genetically they are the same as regular sized Australian shepherds. But just like humans, you can have two 5’2 parents somehow produce a 6 ft kid or also have two 6’ parents produce a kid who is 5’2 in adulthood. So at this point he’s not really a « mini » he’s just an Aussie. My Aussie’s parents were in the 40 lb range and considered as « small standards ». At the end of the day unless you’re competing it doesn’t really matter - that 5 lb difference from 35 to 40 lbs that people use to separate minis from standards is negligible compared to the variability in the breed between 40-80 lbs.
haha exactly !!
I have a mini female she's 16 months old and weights 39 pounds It's a great size! I also have a standard female 8 years old at 57 pounds and there is a definite difference between them.
Nala is 41 pounds, Austrilian Shepperd 9 month at the end of the month, female pup, she was the smallest of the group.
I am getting a Mini Australian Shepherd Border Collie mix in about 6 weeks, the mother is a red/white AKC show quality Mini Australian Shepherd the dad is a Black and White Border Collie (mellow energy level). The puppies are 2 weeks old now, the lady is a Trainer of dogs, she breeds show quality AKC Australian Shepherds and Show Quality AKC Border Collies. The Momma is around 30lbs and Dad around 55 lbs, about how big will the puppies grow up to be?
Hi I have a one year old Miniature Australian Shepherd. He is so active he likes to play all the time but he is not eating so much thats why I'm taking him to the vet next week. I really like your Miniature Australian Shepherd.
The ;ast time I weight my Mini Australian Shepherd he was 13.4 lb. I'M Worried about his weight
My Mini Aussie name is Steve
Can i ask what the height of frankie is to his whithers?
Frankie is cute, healthy and happy.
love you joey and frankie (dont worry i wont steal you from angelica lol) and i am getting a mini male aussie soon, any name i will appreciate!
Just my my kids a mini Aussie puppy it’s 8 weeks old it’s our first dog any tips
dehydrated chicken and chicken meal are the same thing. Chicken meal is just dehydated and ground up chicken. Chicken meal byproduct is just dehydrated and ground up parts of the chicken that are used often (like necks, liver, feet).
Loved your video. Thank you! We are considering adopting a mini Australian Shepherd from a rescue. We have 13 stairs in our house, and our Sheltie had trouble going up and down the stairs. Are the mini Aussie's taller than a Sheltie?
It is tough to say because they vary. I would say that Frankie is a little bigger and both him and Indie have no problem with the stairs. He grew up in an apartment that had an entrance of 50 steps ahha
Ciao have you tried to put some kibbles in a glass of water and see if they completely melt? This was one thing an old vet told me years ago it is a very good way to check the quality of the food..I've done this test with lots of kibbles and found out the ones that melt this is a sign of what happens in the stomach of the dog if the food melt it means it will be digested completely in case the kibble acts like a spong and remains like a "marshmellon" for hours it is not a good sign because the same will happen in dog's stomach and it won't be digested properly ..hugs from Italy and my 3 Aussie 🤗
My mini Aussie ended up at nearly 80 pounds, your dog is closer to a standard. Mine it would say she was a Maxi, but I just lost her. The worst pain and grief One can feel. But on a good note I just 2 puppies, one blew Merle, and the other a red Merle. It helps to patch my heart.
WAIT YOU’RE THAT GUY FROM TIKTOK lol I was looking up how big a mini Aussie would get and your vid popped up
I guessed 41 pounds 😂! My mini Aussie is only 7 month-old but he’s already almost as big as Frankie! I think he weighs 38 pounds. His siblings are much much smaller though... When did Frankie stop growing?
Wow! So I always thought my Aussie looked similar in size to Frankie. My Aussie is a female (and full size) but I guess I was wrong!! My pup is 50lbs and 2 1/2 years old
yeah a lot of people think that franks is a lot larger than he actually is
@@FrankieToTheMoon yeah, I think because I see Frankie on camera vs my pup in person. Either way he is one handsome boy
Just got a tricolor one 4 days ago. Soooo small!!
so pumped for you
My Aussie is 1 and a half AKC Standard and about 35lb she isn't over weight maybe could us more but she's still growing
he looks like he's more on the size of a small standard rather than the typical weight of the miniature - 36 or 38 #?
The raised dog bowl looks great. Where is it from?
Not sure but you can find those at many pet stores online or in person
PS Indie(?sp) is also beautiful and sweet!
My 4 month old Aussie is biting a lot any tips to prevent it?
I have 2 aussies that used to bite, just be super duper firm and corrective when your dog bites you. Try pinching their ear with your finger nail or pin them on their back until they stop biting you.
