Q. & A. with Toree
Why did you start breeding?
I love genetics. I love the Australian Shepherd breed of dog. Through my degrees in agriculture and business, I found my passion through my dogs. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others.What makes your program special?
I hold myself to the highest standard when it comes to my dogs and my policies. I am thorough in health testing and caring for my dogs, and I make sure each puppy gets the proper group and individual attention that it needs to thrive. My goal is to ensure that every dog that comes from my program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves my care.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Litter and program updates
Toree W.
Program update on 13 Oct •…Hello Charming Family! I am not feeling well and haven’t been for the last few days. Please hang tight while I get to feeling better. I am going to do my best to update pictures today- no promises. Our littles have their going home vet appointments on Thursday afternoon and then we will be reaching out to schedule their departures. We are currently expecting ONE litter in December that will be open to the public. The other litter- I bred for myself and I will hopefully be retaining all the females and possibly a male. I won’t be posting Raya’s litter until my choices have been made and set it stone. That being said- feel free to reach out with any questions. We will still be here- just a little less active as we take the time to remodel and take some time with our family and the dogs. I’ll keep you all updated and as always- Thank you for being a part of the Charming Family.

Program update on 08 July •…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.

Program update on 04 Nov 2025 •…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! 🌤️🐎

Litter update on 26 June 2025 •…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!

About Merritt
Merritt is a true homegrown boy, born and raised right here at Charming Australian Shepherds. He is the son of Flint and Dixie—our favorite pairing—and their puppies absolutely did not disappoint.

He knows when it’s time to work and when it’s time to simply relax and enjoy life. Beyond his beautiful temperament, Merritt has the most endearing old-soul quality about him. He has the mind of a sweet old man—calm, thoughtful, wise, and incredibly easy to love. He has a clear genetic health panel, and genetic testing results and documentation are available upon request. Merritt is AKC registered and is a wonderful example of what we strive to produce at Charming Australian Shepherds: sound minds, beautiful temperaments, athletic ability, and dogs who can truly turn it off when the work is done.

Ruby is my absolute lover girl—the kind of dog who would happily spend all day soaking up attention from her people. She has the sweetest, most affectionate personality and truly believes that a little love goes a long way. On the farm, Ruby has an absolute ball playing with us and the other dogs.

Toree was wonderful throughout the entire process of bringing Bowen home! She took the time to show me around her farm and it was easy to see how much love, time, and effort she puts into Charming Australian Shepherds and every one of her dogs. She answered all of my questions and made the experience enjoyable. I couldn’t be happier! If you’re looking for an Australian Shepherd, I highly recommend Toree and Charming Australian Shepherds, there’s no need to look any further!

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 has been amazing from the start of the process to the end! She is so quick to respond and you can tell she truly loves what she does. Our puppy is gorgeous and so sweet. We couldn’t have asked for anything better!

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.
