Male Australian Shepherds can be as big as 50 to 65 pounds, and females can weight as much as 40 to 55 pounds, so, yes, I'd say you could buy a regular size Australian Shepherd. I'm not sure where all you're searching to find one, but you may consider looking in other places. Some suggestions would be the classifieds section in your local papers, Craigslist and eBay.
Australian Shepherd is a descendant of dogs from Basque which were brought to Australia and US by the shepherds. It was later crossed with other Collie type dogs to create a dog with excellent herding skills. Initially Australian Shepherd was used for herding cattle.
Small Australian Shepherds are breed with each other to get smaller puppies. No other breed is used.

Australian Shepherds are medium-sized, intelligent, and active dogs that were originally bred for herding livestock. They are known for their loyalty, and work ethic. Australian Shepherds are also relatively healthy dogs, with a lifespan of 12-15 years. Australian Shepherds are generally good with children and other pets, but they can be wary of strangers. They require regular exercise and mental stimulation, and they are not well-suited for apartment living. Overall, Australian shepherd dogs are good companions to active people because of their loving, loyal, and intelligent nature. The beautiful coat patterns and striking eyes of the Australian shepherd are also recognized. If you are considering getting an Australian Shepherd, be sure to do your research and find a reputable breeder. You should also be prepared to provide your dog with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.

It resembles a tri-colour English Shepherd. An other option is an Australian Shepherd, which is very similar to the English. The standard for the Australian is for a docked tail but that is now banned in some jurisdictions. It does not resemble the Smooth (short haired) Collie except that it is a herding breed.
Not necessarily. But they are great mixes1 I have a border collie half Australian shepherd and she is brilliant. They can look the same though because sometimes their coats look very similar to each other

I have a mini. They are not recognized by the AKC, but that does not mean they don't exist. The breeds started years ago by breeding small Australian shepherds.
