Welcome to TomShepherds. My passion for Australian Shepherds began over 18 years ago when I brought home my first Aussie. Their intelligence, loyalty, and boundless energy captured my heart, and I knew I wanted to share these incredible dogs with other families. What started as a love for the breed has evolved into a professional breeding program built on ethical practices, genetic health, and responsible stewardship. I don’t just breed Australian Shepherds—I dedicate myself to improving the breed with each generation. Every puppy born at TomShepherds is raised in our home environment, receiving early socialization, veterinary care, and individual attention. We believe that the first eight weeks of a puppy’s life set the foundation for their entire future, which is why we invest countless hours in proper handling, exposure to new experiences, and early training protocols. When you welcome a TomShepherds puppy into your family, you’re not just getting a dog—you’re gaining a lifelong relationship with a breeder who genuinely cares about the wellbeing of every puppy we produce.

Welcome to Tomshepherds!
We’re genuinely happy you’re here. Tomshepherds began with a simple love for Australian Shepherds and a belief that finding the right puppy should feel comfortable, personal, and full of trust from the very start.
Our dogs are raised in a family setting where they receive daily care, attention, and early socialization. We spend time getting to know each puppy, their personality, and what kind of home they’ll do best in. That way, when it’s time for them to leave us, both the puppy and the family feel ready.
Who We Are & What We Do
At Tomshepherds, we raise purebred Australian Shepherd puppies with care, love, and attention to their health and happiness. We are a family-run team, and every puppy is raised as part of our home, getting the socialization, play, and guidance they need to grow into confident, well-adjusted dogs.
Whether you see them as a new family member, a loyal companion, or your best friend, our Aussies are more than pets—they’re part of the family from day one.
We help families find well-socialized, family-raised Australian Shepherd puppies. From their first playful moments to settling into their forever homes, each puppy is ready to bring joy, companionship, and love to the family they join. Explore our available puppies, and you’ll find a new best friend waiting for you.
We are proud members of the American Kennel Club (AKC) and raise AKC-registered Australian Shepherds.
