MASCA

Through MASCA,  the parent club and registry for the Australian Shepherd of the  miniature variety, the mini Aussie remains a size variety of the Australian Shepherd, with a continuous gene pool. The dogs will NOT become a separate breed, UNLIKE the AKC Miniature American Shepherd. Dog owners and future owners concerned with maintaining Australian Shepherd  heritage, instinct, temperament and type in a mini Aussie, are invited  to contact MASCA for additional information about the club and its  goals.

A MASCA mini Aussie:

• Is not registered with the AKC as a breed other than an Australian Shepherd
• Is not the same as the AKC/FSS Miniature American Shepherd
• Is the true Aussie of the miniature variety
• Will always be an Aussie

MASCA is NOT seeking recognition as a Miniature American Shepherd with AKC/FSS.

MASCA will protect the integrity of the MASCA registry and continue to register Australian Shepherds of the miniature variety. We are true to the heritage of our dogs.
