Thank you all much!

I agree, especially with the miniaturizing issue (in that I don't think that it's right to miniaturize all breeds). I think one of the things was some info that I have been reading for a while. It (the breed) was presented as being like how some folks related the Min Pin and Dobie. I have nothing against any of these precious pups, however. I just would feel like I was supporting the wrong thing (millers, etc).

I guess it's back to the drawing board! I can handle pretty much everything. The thing I was going for with a Mini Aussie is strength. I love the Aussie but I wasn't sure if I'd be able to keep up with one. But, plus, they're working and I don't plan on having cows or sheep or whatnot.

I have a lot of time and energy to spare and space is not an issue as we will probably be moving once more (in a couple of years, after I complete some schooling) and then probably buying a place hopefully with a quite a bit of yard (acres, I'm hoping and crossing my fingers for). I would like to get into showing and whatnot. (Affens, mayhaps. I love everything about them!)

Bckrazy, pretty pups! I understand the head/eye problem. It's incredibly aggravating that people are just doing things all willy nilly without giving any consideration towards anything (especially any potential repercussions).
