I'm Karla P., the breeder behind South Paw Toy Aussies located in College Station, TX. As a small home-based breeder, we are able to focus on raising socialized puppies with wonderful temperaments. This a family affair - the puppies are raised in our home with our children and our other dogs and cats. All of our puppies come pre-loved and 100% spoiled!
Q. & A. with Karla
Why did you start breeding?
I got my first toy Aussie as an emotional support animal when I had to fly every week for work. Our breeding program stemmed from the fact that Oliver was such a perfect companion and gentleman. I always felt like there should be more Oliver's in the world.
What makes your program special?
What makes us special is that we truly love each puppy as if it were going to be a member of our home forever. This makes them very hard to part with, but such a special gift to share with our buyers. We like to keep up with our pups and stay in touch with their owners. We also try to make the process as seamless as possible for owners who are unfamiliar with the process, especially if travel is involved.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Toy Australian Shepherd puppies include black tri, blue merle, red merle, and red tri. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Full Embark Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
