Breeder of Miniature Australian Shepherds and Australian Shepherds

Houston, TX

Meet the breeder

I'm Krys F., the breeder behind Grace Oaks Aussies located in Houston, TX. We breed and show paramount Aussies of all sizes. Our puppies come from health and genetically tested parents. I carefully choose the sire and dam in order to produce the best quality possible. I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy.

Q. & A. with Krys

Why did you start breeding?
I researched breeds heavily when looking for another dog. Every search I made kept coming back to the mini Aussie. Once I found a breeder I connected with, I found a pup I liked. I fell in love with his temperament and affection. I knew I wanted to reproduce this same joy and happiness and bring it to others.
What makes your program special?
Some breeders choose to have their dogs in kennels or dog runs with little or no interaction. My program is different in that my dogs live, socialize, eat, and sleep in my home and are treated as family, as they should be. I believe temperament is just as important as the health of the dogs and puppies they produce. My goal is to produce healthy, happy puppies that families will be proud to own.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Oakley, dad
Toy Australian Shepherd
About Oakley
Well hello there. My name’s Oakley and I’m so glad to meet you. I’m glad to meet everyone! I never meet a stranger. I’m ASDR registered as a Toy Australian Shepherd and I’m only 13.5” tall at my withers. I’m a red tri male and have light brown eyes and the most active little wiggle nub. Some of my hobbies include eating absolutely anything and playing volleyball. Mom says I’m really good at both. I love to show my affection by laying my face on my human’s face and wiggling my nub. They think I’m so sweet and I really try to be. I’m a really good boy, mom tells me all the time. Anyway thanks for stopping by my page.
Nova, mom
Australian Shepherd
About Nova
Hey! My name is Nova. I’m registered with AKC as an Australian Shepherd and with ASDR as a Miniature Australian Shepherd. I’m a blue merle female and I’m 17” tall at my withers. I have one eye that’s blue and one that’s brown with a blue fleck. I have lots of energy and I’m always aiming to please my humans. They give me all kinds of commands and I nail it every time which is cool because they give me treats just for doing things like sitting or giving them a high five! Ha who knew it could be so easy?! My humans are always telling me how smart and pretty I am which makes me feel super cool. I love playing with my fellow canines, watching tv (the dog channel mostly) and I love to go for a good round of frisbee. I could play that for hours if mom let me. Anyway, thanks for stopping by my page. It was nice to meet you.
