Frequently Asked Questions

How Big Do Saussies Get? Saussies, a hybrid mix between a Shih Tzu and a Miniature Australian Shepherd, are small to medium-sized dogs, typically reaching an adult height of 10 to 15 inches at the shoulder. This compact yet sturdy size makes them adaptable to various living environments, from apartments to homes with yards.

How Much Do Saussies Weigh? Adult Saussies generally weigh between 10 to 20 pounds. Their weight can vary depending on whether they inherit more traits from their Shih Tzu or Mini Aussie parent, but they typically fall within this manageable range, making them easy to handle for families, singles, and seniors alike.

Do Saussies Shed? Saussies are known for minimal shedding, thanks to their Shih Tzu lineage, which tends to be a low-shedding breed. Regular brushing helps to keep their coat healthy and free from tangles, especially if they inherit a longer coat. This minimal shedding makes Saussies a great choice for those looking to keep pet hair to a minimum in the home.

Are Saussies Hypoallergenic? While Saussies are low-shedding, they are not guaranteed to be fully hypoallergenic. Individuals with mild allergies may find them easier to manage, but it’s essential to spend time around Saussies first to ensure compatibility. Regular grooming, including brushing and occasional trims, helps reduce dander and allergens in the home.

How Long Do Saussies Live? Saussies have a life expectancy of 12 to 15 years. With proper care, a balanced diet, routine exercise, and regular veterinary check-ups, many Saussies enjoy a long, healthy life filled with love and companionship.

Are Saussies Good with Children? Yes, Saussies are known for their sweet, friendly, and playful temperament, making them excellent companions for children. They are generally affectionate and enjoy spending time with family members of all ages. However, due to their small to medium size, supervision is recommended with very young children to ensure gentle interactions.

Are Saussie Puppies Easy to Train? Saussie puppies are responsive and intelligent, inheriting their trainability from both parent breeds. They respond well to positive reinforcement techniques, such as praise and treats. Early socialization and consistent training help shape them into well-behaved adult dogs, making them a suitable choice for first-time dog owners.

What Is a Saussie? The Saussie is a designer dog breed created by crossing a Shih Tzu with a Miniature Australian Shepherd. Known for their friendly and loyal nature, Saussies make excellent family pets and companions. Their playful, affectionate personality and low-shedding coat make them ideal for a variety of living situations, and they thrive in homes where they receive plenty of attention and social interaction.
