Saying goodbye is the hardest part of our time together… They’ve got huge adventures with wonderful families ahead of them. Good Luck to all of you- I’m always just a phone call away.





Flint and Hope's litter

Toree W.
Not the update I’d love to be posting. Pailins litter is suffering from Fading Puppy. She didn’t accept her puppies and turned violent towards them. We did everything we could to reunited puppies with momma- however. We pulled her from them the minute they turned two weeks old. This litter has been hard on everyone involved. We are praying, working, feeding around the clock. We’ve seen three vets and talked to several more. Today we continue on… trying to do everything in our power to save the last 4. Nature is cruel, nature sucks, and she always holds the winning deck of cards. From incubating these guys in the incubator- to them opening their eyes- they are loved. Sometimes all we can do is fight the battle for them. Send up some extra prayers for us today. I haven’t slept except 3 hours at a time in 16 days. It’s catching up with me. Pictures and updates are important- yes. Lives are more important. We are taking care of the needs of every animal on this property- but pictures will wait. Please show us a little bit of grace during this time. None of this is fun. We are all in survival mode and waiting for the next panic moment. The vet is on speed dial and we are doing everything from praying, begging, to modern medicine. Pictures of the litters will be late. I know everyone is excited to see the puppies and make their picks- however- I am grieving, praying, and negotiating with nature at the moment. Pictures will come later- as soon as I catch a moment where everyone is at peace.

Out of Office Alert 🐴✨ Hello friends! I’ve officially run away from home for a well-deserved vacation day — no dogs, no bulls, and no boarding horses today! It’s rare that I take a day just for myself, but today my horse and I are setting out to find a little peace and a few blessings. If you need me, I’ll be out of range until around 8 PM tonight. In the meantime, our amazing farm managers are on-site keeping a close eye on all the horses, dogs, and bulls. See y’all this evening — hopefully a little more rested and sun-kissed! 🌤️🐎

Growing so fast. Let the shenanigans begin!


FJ and Jazz's litter

Toree W.
What an amazing litter! We are working so hard on litter training and are happy to report that everyone is learning and doing wonderfully. They enjoyed some time outside today but quickly put themselves back in front of their fans. I couldn’t be more in love with these puppies. Pictures coming after the heatwave!

Toree was a very humble and heartwarming person who was very intelligent and knowledgeable about the Australian Shepherd breed. As I drove up to her property to pick up my puppy, just watching her running around being playful. I knew that she was going to be the most happiest dog I’ve ever brought in my life. That comes to show that she did an amazing job raising her for the first three months. Breeders like Tori are people that I put my utmost trust and gratitude in. Tori is a type of person who not only shows her litters how to be obedient and love everyone and everything. But she also shows her litters how to be carefree and loves the puppies as if they were her own. If you were looking to adopt a purebred Aussie to bring into your life and shower you with unconditional love, Tori is the person I would highly recommend.

I purchased my Australian Shepherd, Valkyrie (“Kyrie”), from Toree and had an excellent experience. Kyrie has a strong, service-oriented temperament and has been exceptionally trainable. She is currently excelling in agility and advanced obedience, and we plan to compete once she reaches full mastery. Toree was friendly, personable, and very educational throughout the process. Her communication and dedication stood out, and it’s clear she cares deeply about her dogs and their placements. I highly recommend Toree to anyone looking for a well-bred Aussie with an excellent temperament and a breeder who genuinely invests in her puppies’ futures.

Toree was incredible to work with! She was super responsive and kept us updated on our puppy throughout the process. When we picked him up, she gave us a bunch of information on him and showed us around to see his parents, littermates, and environment that he was being raised in! We couldn’t be happier with the puppy we brought home!!

Toree was wonderful throughout the entire process! I cannot recommend her enough! We loved getting the weekly photo shoots and updates until it was time to bring our boy tecova (formerly austin) home! We now have these photos to cherish forever! He is one of the best dogs, he is extremely intelligent and an amazing herding dog. His instincts came naturally and has great qualities from both of his parents! He was easy to train, as the potty training had started with toree prior to bringing him home unlike other places. We got to meet the parents of our boy on pickup day and get to learn all about her business and her love for all of her babies. Toree continues to check in on all of her babies and loves getting updates on them as they grow! The process was informative, trustworthy, and smooth. We will definitely continue to go through charming Australian shepherds for future additions to our family! From the bottom of our hearts thank you toree, your love for what you do shows and we cannot thank you enough for our precious boy! If you are looking to adopt from her know that you will be working with the best!
