Meet the breeder

I'm Tracy O., the breeder behind Rafter O Toy Aussies and Mini Heelers located in Nocona, TX. I have owned Australian Shepherds for thirty years. We started breeding Mini Aussies in 2002 and showing Toys in 2017. Our Aussies are the absolute greatest family dogs! They are so smart, so loyal, and so loving. We strive to breed trainable Aussies that are capable of doing the things they were meant to do.

Q. & A. with Tracy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I saw my first Mini Aussie in 2000 and fell in love! We finally got our first one in 2002. The one I got had already been shown and I really did not think anything of it. We started her in agility, but then we moved and had no place to keep training. When I kept a puppy back from her, I had officially started my breeding program.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our dogs are very loved and spoiled just a little. They go to the Iake with us, ride on the boat and the jet ski. I often take one or two dogs with me on the road to barrel races. We are a small breeding program so it makes it easier for us to be hands-on with the dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
