Meet the breeder

Q. & A. with Suzanne

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After years of working in the veterinary field and seeing programs run incorrectly with sub-par standards, I waited until I had the opportunity to do my program right. I have placed puppies all over the US and one in Spain. My owners have reported that veterinarians praise my puppies and our program; it’s a breath of fresh air for them. Australian Shepherds are my passion, and I love spending my life with them.

  • What makes your program special?

    We focus on proper socialization and handling puppies correctly for restraint. We support our veterinarians, and our goal is to recommend the healthiest practices and most up-to-date information regarding animal health and well-being! We are very dedicated to what we do and what we are trying to achieve as breeders. We work with passion, heart, integrity, and truly want what's best for the Australian Shepherd line.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our Australian Shepherd puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle, red merle, red, and black. Toy Australian Shepherd puppies include black tri, blue merle, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    We had a wonderful experience with Suzanne Transier at Circle JTS Ranch in Lindale, Texas. Suzanne is knowledgeable and very passionate about raising healthy, well-adjusted Toy Australian Shepherds. Communication with Suzanne was excellent—she patiently answered all of our questions, provided timely updates, and made sure we felt fully prepared before bringing our puppy home. Our Toy Aussie is healthy, happy, and wonderfully socialized. It’s clear the puppies are raised in a loving environment with lots of care, early handling, and attention to temperament and beautiful breed conformation. Suzanne also provided thorough records for not only the puppy's health but also the health and geneology of his parents. She also provided helpful guidance including several topic-specific articles on raising and training a puppy. These attributes really set her apart as a breeder. I highly recommend Suzanne Transier and Circle JTS Ranch to anyone looking for a Toy Australian Shepherd from a breeder who truly cares about their dogs and the families they go to. We couldn’t be happier with our new puppy!
