Meet the breeder

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.

    Karla made my first puppy experience such an amazing one. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and always answered all of my questions in a timely manner. From the very beginning, she stayed in touch and made me feel comfortable and supported throughout the whole process. My puppy is the sweetest girl and exactly how Karla described her personality. She gets along so well with other dogs and even cats, which was very important to me. You can truly tell Karla cares about her puppies and wants them to go to loving homes. I’m so grateful for the experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a well-loved and well-socialized puppy.

    Karla was incredible and truly brought a total gem into my husband and I’s lives. Gordo (Pua) is such a well behaved healthy boy. He is playful and sweet and soft as can be. Every step of the way with Karla was easy and we couldn’t recommend trusting her more!

    Karla was amazing to work with. She was extremely responsive and sent updates regarding the puppy. She walked through the traits and personalities of the puppies that were available to help with selection. Working through Gooddog made everything easy. “Hazel”, now Kraken is just the cutest thing and has been an amazing addition to the family!!
