Q. & A. with Allison
Why did you start breeding?
I have been breeding Miniature Australian Shepherds for 15 years. I have a strong background in the Equine industry and managed a large Quarter Horse breeding farm for over 20 years. With a great love of dogs all my life and an interest in breeding, I set out to improve on the Miniature Australian Shepherd breed.
What makes your program special?
We strive to produce dogs with breed standard conformation, excellent dispositions, versatility and wonderful personalities so they make good working family members for their new owners.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include tiny and miniature sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies include fawn, sable, and blue. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. American Corgi puppies include fawn and white, black and tan, blue merle and white, red merle and white, and gray and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

Allison was very responsive and extremely helpful! My cousin who lived closer to our pup was able to talk to Allison and pick her up at a meet up point! Miko is an absolute doll and sweetest girl I’ve met, potty training, crate training, house training was a good experience! She is a smart girl!!!

Allison was amazing with the help that she gave! I messaged her very late multiple nights and she always responded very promptly! She answered all of my questions and was very thorough with all the information that she gave me when we picked up our puppy! He is very healthy and it is obvious that he was given great care and love before we got him! Best experience with getting a dog ever!

Allison was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. She followed up after pick-up to make sure everything was okay and that the first health visit went well. My little Schnauzer puppy is adorable and everything I was looking for.

After waiting over a year following the passing of my 15-year-old Pomeranian, one of Allison's puppies at Texas Lil Cowdogs caught my eye. Not only was Allison incredibly responsive when I reached out, but after just a couple of messages, she gave me her phone number and invited me to visit her farm to meet Picasso (whom I’ve since named Caleb). It was such a privilege to meet Caleb’s parents, all the other dogs, and even one of the cats who lives on the farm. Allison’s facilities were pristine from top to bottom, and you could tell by the demeanor of every single one of her dogs (I think she introduced me to all of them!) that she pours her heart and soul into caring for them like they’re her own family. It was also immediately clear that the dogs love her just as much, and Allison does everything she can to ensure they’re happy and healthy. I spent several hours visiting before taking Caleb home, and I have to say, it was the best experience I’ve ever had getting a new dog. Allison was extremely knowledgeable and transparent about the health of Caleb’s parents, and she offered great advice on feeding and caring for him. This is easily the most well-adjusted puppy I’ve ever had... even by the second day, he was settling in beautifully. That kind of start only happens when a dog comes from a place like Texas Lil Cowdogs. Anyone can say what you want to hear when choosing a breeder, but Allison backs it up with an incredible environment and clear dedication to every detail of her dogs’ care. I wish I had found Allison sooner, but I truly feel like I’ve made a new friend. I know exactly who I’ll recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful, healthy dog. Allison, thank you for taking so much time with me and helping me feel confident about such an important decision. Caleb seems so happy and is settling in great. I’m beyond grateful to have found him, and I hope to stay in touch for many years to come. I wish you continued success with Texas Lil Cowdogs. You have certainly earned it.

I’ve been thinking about getting another dog for a while now. Schnauzers have always had my heart and I’ve had two miniature schnauzers before and my parents had one. I know they are smart, playful, and full of sass. They are just a wonderful, fun breed of dog. I began my search and found Allison. I picked out Riley Rose(formerly Arizona) at 2 weeks old. Allison has been wonderful in her updates, photos, and general communication about Riley. Well, yesterday was the day that I picked up my baby. The property is beautiful, well maintained, the kennels are clean, the puppies are well cared for, and Allison is just a kind, thorough, and compassionate human being. This has been a really good experience and I am so glad that I found Allison. My beautiful girl is the perfect addition to my family!

We had the best experience with Allison! She was quick to answer all of my questions. Sent updates on our puppy and pictures of him weekly. When we arrived to meet our new puppy, we had a wonderful experience. Our new baby, Tucker, is such a happy and healthy and intelligent puppy! We have had him for only a week and he is potty trained! NOT ONE accident in the house. He is so smart! We couldn’t be more pleased. You can tell Allison puts love and tons of care into her puppies. Highly recommend!!!
