User added info
The Border-Aussie has the build of a Border Collie. The coat is medium to long in length and can have the colors of either of its ancestors, but usually comes in black and white with sides of the face and legs often brown. Most will have white paws. The ears are floppy during puppyhood but become semi-erect nearing adulthood. The eyes are brown, blue or mixed. The coat can be long and straight or curly like that of the Australian Shepherd.
The Border-Aussie is a friendly, outgoing breed. It is intelligent and easily trainable. It is an excellent choice for owners with children. The Border-Aussie is a high energy breed and will require plenty of daily exercise.
The Border-Aussie is a great herding dog and gets along well with cats.
Border-Aussies have a coat that is easy to groom and maintain. An occasional brushing with a firm bristle brush is sufficient to assist the shedding process and keep the coat free of tangles and matting. Australian Shepherds should be bathed only as necessary. They are average shedders. Especially during shedding season extra care should be given to the soft, dense undercoat. The ears and coat, especially on the back of the neck, should be checked regularly for ticks.
The Border-Aussie requires large amounts of exercise and enjoys open area to run and play. Daily leash walks are required as well as frequent trips to the dog park. This breed is comfortable in an apartment as long as daily exercise is provided.
If you're having problems training your dog or getting control, you should read our review of DogProblems.com. Adam will do whatever it takes to help you whip your dog into shape. I've used them to help with my Great Dane as well as help friends train their dogs. It's the first place I go to help answer users Questions. Many training issues are too extensive to answer in this forum, which is why I refer a lot of the load to his site.
Update: I've been using and recommending DogProblems for three years now. I, as well as my users, value the techniques we've learned. I get weekly emails from users who have become better owners from the information they received.
Not sure how long ago this question was posted but there are border Aussies for $200 right now on puppy find in Missouri if you search austrailian shepherds and then click the miniature Australian shepherd link and then in the top right corner click location and choose Missouri then go to sort by birth date. They are 12 days old :)

Age :

Name:
Panda
Color:
Black and white
Description:
Panda can best be described as a hyperactive bum. She loves her three times a day walks and enjoys playing tug of war. Panda loves to wrestle with my teenage boys. Chasing them around the house is also fun, but her favorite activity is stealing a sock from wherever she can find one. She lets you know she has one and then happily plays a game of keep-a-way, running circles around you. However, when she is sitting to be petted, she is always leaning up against something and she lies on the stairs to watch out the window instead of sitting next to it. Her Kong toys are a life-save. They keep her mind active as she problem-solves how to get the treats out that we have wedged-in and "glued" to the inside with peanut butter.
