I'm Lisa D., the breeder behind Pinewood Australian Shepherds located in Waller, TX. I’ve been involved with this wonderful breed since 1996. My dogs are AKC and ASCA registered. They only go to pet/companion homes. I never let them go with breeding rights. Parents are genetic tested, and hips, elbows and/eyes cleared with OFA. Parents are carefully chosen for temperament and quality, not for eye color. Bred to the AKC and ASCA standards.
