Meet the breeder

I'm Tanya J., the breeder behind BWild Australian Shepherds located in Greenbank, WA. We only breed dogs that are healthy, have wonderful temperaments, and are outstanding examples of their breed. Holding ourselves to high standards is paramount to the well-being of our dogs and to the integrity of our program.

Q. & A. with Tanya

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I competed for years with my rescue dogs and then in 2005 I was allowed to get a puppy from some friends that had a working bred litter. I walked into their home and Vivian saw me from across the room and the rest was destiny. She wrapped me around her little paw and she took me all over the nation, we had many great trips to shows and trials all over.
  • What makes your program special?

    I have been a student of the Australian Shepherd since I got my first two rescue dogs, Fibi and Andy. I have been blessed to have met and gotten to know many of the breed's founders. I've had a passion to maintain the breed with the Breed Standard as my guide and the words of those founders as my bible.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red & white, black & white, black, red merle, blue merle, red, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Tanya

Tanya has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Tanya partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 8 weeks old.

“As should be with all litters, serious consideration is given to health, temperament and structure, before a breeding takes place. Puppies are placed in approved homes only. Puppies are not placed on a first come first serve basis, but rather, an evaluation of your goals for your new puppy and the individual puppy's temperament. I do not determine where each pup will go until they have completed all health tests, temperament tests and structural evaluations at around 8 weeks old. I know we all have the perfect color in our minds eye, and I want to know your preferences, just know I cannot always guarantee that your perfect match will match your perfect color. With that said, I always love when that perfect combination works out perfectly and it quite often does! : )”

    Working with Tanya was an absolute pleasure! She was incredibly responsive and answered all our questions, but I especially respected how she vetted us to ensure we were the right fit for the dog. Since we live out of state, she hopped on FaceTime with us and seamlessly coordinated all the travel arrangements to fly him home. Our dog is absolutely perfect. His temperament around both people and other dogs is amazing, and he was so easy to train. Knowing he was coming to us safely from such an experienced owner made the whole process feel calm and professional. Thank you, Tanya, for helping us find our perfect companion!
