This is a regular laying position. Seems cramped to me but what do I know.

All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.
Rules (Will be refined later on).
-
Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.
-
No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here. -
All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.
-
Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.
-
Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.

How tall is he?
I used to own an Australian Shepherd that was a great dog and have been considering if a mini might be a better fit for my next dog.
I am not quite sure how measure. I would say around 20" at the withers, but he is much bigger than any of the other dogs from his litter.
I have had full sized Aussies before as well. Imagine taking that energy and compressing it to a singularity that is always ready to explode. That is Rufus and I wouldn't trade him for the world.
