I'm Tanya T., the breeder behind Double T Aussies located in Stanwood, MI. We breed working dogs and pet Australian Shepherds. We strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy. I am a professional dog trainer raising puppies with amazing foundations. We carefully choose the sire and dam in order to produce the best quality possible. Our goal is to find perfect matches for forever families.
Q. & A. with Tanya
Why did you start breeding?
I am a dog lover and both my husband and I grew up with dogs. We decided to get an Australian Shepherd together and our love grew. We did a lot of research and training with him and when we were expecting our own little one we decided to get our second Aussie which led to wanting to breed working dogs who also can be calm inside pets or therapy dogs.
What makes your program special?
We have Australian Shepherds who produce high drive, athletic working dogs but also calm therapy and pet dogs. We also strive to keep to the true standard Australian Shepherds who are larger and stockier.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Double T Aussies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Australian Shepherds.
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
