Meet the breeder

I'm Alaina W., the breeder behind AW Standard Aussies located in Azle, TX. Hi! I'm Alaina Williams. I am a fourth-year vet student and my goal is to raise versatile pups that are able to go on and succeed in any home they're in, whether that be in a show home, with an active family, or as a service dog!

Q. & A. with Alaina

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always loved Aussies! In high school, my ag teacher bred aussies and I fell in love with the breed. In undergrad, one of my best friends bred mini aussies and she showed me the ropes! I bought my first female and the rest is history! I love learning more about the breed and trying to always better my program

  • What makes your program special?

    Being a vet student, I am able to better my program as I learn more and more. I have had the opportunity to learn from wonderful veterinarians about breeding. My dogs always bring a smile to my face after a hard day and I couldn't see my life without them. That's my goal for those who purchase a puppy from me!

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    We had an extremely positive experience with Alaina as our dog breeder. After unexpectedly losing our sweet senior Australian Shepherd a month ago, we were on the lookout for a new dog. While scrolling through many adorable puppies, we instantly knew we had found our girl the second our eyes landed on Unicorn (now Daisy). Eagerly, we reached out to Alaina, who was quick to respond and kindly answered all our questions. Her friendliness and extensive knowledge immediately made us feel safe and confident in her trustworthy character. Moreover, Alaina is a genuinely compassionate person, showing empathy and support when we shared the loss of our previous Aussie girl. I've already recommended Alaina's website and profile to family and friends because it's evident she loves and takes great care of all her dogs and puppies. We are forever grateful to Alaina for bringing Daisy into our lives. Daisy has brought so much love and joy into our home, and we continue to share updates and photos with Alaina even after taking her home. Thank you, Alaina, for everything!

    Alaina was the best experience I’ve ever had with a breeder. You can absolutely tell from the minute you get your pup home how well she took care of the litter while they were hers! I’m so grateful for all her help and so in love with our red tri pup!
