Meet the breeder
I'm Sonya J., the breeder behind 4J Aussies located in Huntington, TX. My focus is on maintaining the Aussie standard by raising structurally sound pups with excellent temperaments and great health. I am a small-scale breeder, allowing me to give each of my puppies, dogs, and breeding's the proper care and attention they each deserve. All our dogs are family first!
Q. & A. with Sonya
Why did you start breeding?
A very dear friend who owns J&L Ranch Aussies gave me my first Aussie. I had no idea how much those 2 dogs would change our lives. They are remarkable dogs and with my kids grown and no Grandkids, these babies fill that void. I put everything into my baby loves and I strive to raise well socialized, healthy, loving, life long family members!What makes your program special?
My puppies are handled every day, in my home & truly loved. I unofficially name each one & bond with each & every puppy . I can tell you their personalities & can help guide you to the perfect fit for your family. We have a puppy room in our home & I work from home so they are with me 24/7. I take extra precaution's so that my puppies are healthy, happy & ready to thrive in their new homes.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle, red merle, red, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Sonya is everything you’d hope to find in a good breeder. She frequently sent me updates of my lil guy Slick along with plenty of pictures. This helped A LOT when having to wait for him to reach 8 weeks old- it was so hard to wait! Throughout the 8 weeks, I could not believe how awesome Sonya was with keeping me updated. She follows a good curriculum when raising the pups and you can tell that she takes their growth and development very seriously and is very hands-on with each of the puppies. Slick came home to us very confident and hardly timid at all, but also laidback and can relax too. He also came home doing very well with potty training. Sonya has truly raised the bar for being a good breeder and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an Aussie, hands down. We’ve loved having another lil guy added to the mix and his big brother has loved having another little buddy to play with. Thank you so much Sonya & 4J Aussies!!

Our family is so thankful for Good Dog! We were connected with Sonya who is the most amazing breeder. As we scrolled looking for our new family member we stopped on 4J Aussies and loved what we saw. Sonya was an experienced breeder that was awesome from our first phone call. As soon as we got the news that our pup was available our relationship began. Sonya was so kind and loving throughout the whole process. She would send us updates and photos all the time. We felt like we new Roxxi before we even got her. We saw her development in all of the videos and we fell in love even more every time we saw that cute face. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, we consider Sonya our forever friend now:) Roxxi was so unbelievably loved by the time we got her, she was already potty trained for the most part which made her transition that much easier when she got into the RV. Her temperament is so sweet and loving, she is so smart and full of good vibes. I love how much Sonya loves these puppies, you can tell she is passionate about what she does which makes for an amazing experience all around. Roxxi is now 5 months old and an amazing addition to our family, we couldn't imagine life without her:) Sonya you are the best and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

+4I hit the puppy and breeder jackpot when I found 4J Aussies. Sonya updated me regularly with photos and videos until it was time for my little princess to come home. She obviously cares very much about her adult dogs and their puppies. My puppy is happy and healthy extremely good natured. I’m completely over the moon! If you are considering this breeder, don’t hesitate! I can’t even begin to describe how elated I am.

Sonya was a great communicator. We received regular updates, photos and videos of Rowan along the way. We would have no hesitation recommending her and our little guy is just perfect.

+44J Aussies is - by far - the best breeder I have ever worked with. We received regular updates, pictures and videos from Sonya, which I greatly appreciated. Our new puppy is happy, healthy and well adjusted all thanks to the way Sonya and Family raised them. Miss Bobbie was right at home with my three pups immediately. She was not shy at all. Thanks for all the love and care you give these pups - IT SHOWS.
