About the Specialty
Australia's first Miniature American Shepherd Specialty
The Miniature American Shepherd Club of Victoria hosted Australia's inaugural Miniature American Shepherd specialty on the 1st of November 2025 at KCC Park, Victoria.
The specialty was judged by Ms Joyce Siddall of Colorado, USA. She is a longtime Australian Shepherd breeder, owner, handler, and judge, as well as a Senior Breeder Judge with the Australian Shepherd Club of America. Licensed to judge Miniature American Shepherds since 2017, Joyce had the honour of judging the 2025 MASCUSA National Specialty in St. Louis.
We were honored to be joined by breeders, exhibitors and owners from across Australia. 50 Miniature American Shepherds were entered into the specialty across 22 classes. You can find the results of the Miniature American Shepherd specialty HERE.
