When does a toy poodle stop growing?
Toy poodles don't have as much growing to do since they are smaller. Usually they have most of their growth by seven or eight months. You might notice that one month your poodle will have a large growing spurt and then the next month not much at all.
What are the adaptations of an Australian dog?
This is a heated topic among the breeders of Australian Shepherds. First, it should be clarified that there is not a "standard" size Australian Shepherd. There are Australian Shepherds, Miniature Australian Shepherds and even Toy Australian Shepherds. Since you did not ask about the Toy version, I will limit my response to Australian Shepherds and Miniature Australian Shepherds. The Australian Shepherd breed standards (AKC and ASCA) do not have size restrictions but rather suggested ideals of between 18" -23". A dog smaller or larger than those stated sizes is still acceptable if it is structurally sound and capable of performing the work asked of it. Those who oppose the promotion of Miniatures feel that breeding a smaller size is unnecessary when a smaller dog can be found among the general population. They are concerned that the act of breeding selectively for size comes at the possible expense of health and structure. The final concern is that by breeding smaller dogs, the Mini breeders are targeting urban pet owners who have little space (small yards, apartment dwellers) and misrepresenting the true nature of a herding dog. The Miniature Australian Shepherds are still active dogs and although they may be physically smaller, they do require as much exercise and training as their larger counterparts. This breed still requires as much exercise, training and grooming care as an Austrlian Shepherd who is 23" tall. The Mini breeders started breeding for smaller size over twenty years ago using Australian Shepherds as their basis. There are various stories as to why they opted to go in this direction, some hold water and some don't. Regardless of anyone's opinion, the debate over Mini's vs Aussies comes down to one thing: Freedom of Choice. They have the same right to pursue a goal as the next person. These breeders made a choice and have followed through by producing a style of dog that consistently meets a standard they developed.

Where can Australian miniature shepherd dogs be bought?
http://www.akc.org/breeds/australian_shepherd/index.cfm You can't. There is no such thing as a Toy Australian Shepherd. There is a Toy Australian Shepherd and a Miniature Australian Shepherd. 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.

What is the best age to breed a Toy Aussie?
Most Toy Australian Shepherds are typically ready to breed around 1.5 to 2 years of age. It is important to wait until the dog is fully mature both physically and mentally before breeding to ensure a healthy pregnancy and successful delivery. Consulting with a veterinarian or a professional breeder is recommended to determine the best age for breeding your specific dog.
Why will a toy car stop when you push it?
No, because you are pushing it.
Is there any other Australian shepherd other then toy and mini's that's all I see for sale Is there just a regular size?
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.
