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.

He's a large Mini American Shepherd. By large we are only talking 38 lb. But he does have that classic Bernese coloring.

 

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

 

This is Rufus. He's a two year old Mini American Shepherd.

 

This is a build from several years back. The body is chambered walnut sandwiched between Brazilian rosewood that was not useable for an acoustic guitar. I made the pickup rings, switch mount, and truss rod cover from copper and silver dust. It's not all polished up because I have played daily for almost five years.
