Every mini aussie I've met is psychotic. Lunging, barking, nipping at everything.
Over the summer at 4h there was mini and after the first 2 classes she dropped it because her dog was crazy and she couldnt handle her.
Our backdoor neighbor has a mini aussie crazy to.

Every aussie ive met has been gentle and nice. Maybe a bit crazy but not like minis

They’re the same thing

I thought the mini American was a different breed now?

Miniature aussies to be registered under the AKC have to be under miniature american shepherd . But they are the same breed.

I thought they split off a while ago because mini American has other breeds added?

They’re the same as regular Australian Shepherds but Mini Americans have other breeds added I’m pretty sure
