Meet the breeder
I'm Martha E., the breeder behind Piney Oak Aussies located in Mineola, TX. Our Australian Shepherd dogs are family dogs, the standard Aussies enjoy our fenced backyard during the day. Our pups are raised in a home environment.
Q. & A. with Martha
Why did you start breeding?
As we were raising sheep we noticed that we needed not just guard dogs but also herd dogs. That's how we got Comet, our standard-size male. He is the most obedient and sweet dog we ever had. Due to his temper and intelligence, we decided to breed him and chose two females for him. We also have toys and minis.What makes your program special?
Our Aussies are raised as pets, Comet has some experience as a herding dog, and Nova also showed herding instincts. So we are raising family dogs that can also be trained as herding dogs. Our Aussies are exposed to elderly people, kids, cats, and other dogs.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.
