I'm Wray A., the breeder behind Wray Aussies located in Texas. We feel so blessed to be able to raise this impressive breed of Australian Shepherds. When you choose a Wray Aussies puppy, you are gaining a lifetime of breeder support and confidence that we will help ensure you bring the right puppy into your home and family. We are very selective in planning each litter and consider the future of every puppy as we get to know potential homes. Our dogs are an essential part of our family and the puppies are born and raised inside our home so that we can maximize everything they experience with us before they join your family. We even start potty and crate training before they leave us in an effort to make your experience and their transition as wonderful as possible!
