Ayres Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm Alex A., the breeder behind Ayres Aussies located in Christmas Valley, OR. We love to responsibly raise and train our puppies so they have the tools to be well-rounded, beloved family members. We adore our dogs! They’ve enriched our lives in ways we never imagined, and we are so happy to be able to share the wonderful qualities of the breed with others. Owning a Toy Australian Shepherd is a beautiful experience, and it would be our honor to connect you with the perfect new addition to your family.
