Q. & A. with Hillary
Why did you start breeding?
We have had Australian Shepherds in our home for over 20 years.
We found the perfect female after a log search and we want share the best this breed has to offer with other families.
What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised in our home with exposure to kids, cats, dogs, and friends. They have the benefit of being under 24 hour supervision of a veterinarian as well as the most thorough medical care. They are handled and socialized daily in age appropriate ways to encourage a well balanced, confident Aussie!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

🌸 We’re back! It’s been a quiet few months here on the page—but Skye hasn’t gone anywhere.
If you’re new here, welcome! I’m Hillary, and ‘Ohana Aussies of Texas is our small, in-home breeding program centered around this gorgeous girl, Skye. She’s our only breeding female, and she runs the show (just ask our other dog).
Skye just started her heat cycle, so we’re hoping for some exciting news this season. Nothing confirmed yet, but we’ll take you along for the journey either way—from hopeful beginnings to our home-based, heart-driven approach to raising pups.
Thanks for sticking with us. We can’t wait to share more. 🐾

About Skye
Skye is a low drive, medium energy, standard Australian Shepherd who prefers long days of snuggling on the couch over chasing balls in the Texas heat! She is equal parts of unwavering obedience, wiggle-butt, and "don't tell a princess what to do!" Skye has a stunning coat, goofy personality, and loves her people to the moon and back. She has exceeded all of our expectations in her mothering instincts and is raising a litter of confident, well loved puppies!
