Welcome to the internet home of Palomino Australian Shepherds. Located in Austin, TX we are a small hobby kennel who strives for excellence in structure, performance, and companionship. With emphasis on biddability, our Aussies fit the definition of being "all in" to any challenge you put in front of them. From dog sports to hiking companions, we promote an Australian Shepherd as it's happiest when doing something with their people but also able to settle nicely into the home environment.
​
Our personal dogs are active in performance sports such as Agility, Rally, Obedience, and Scent Work. We also prove our dogs in conformation to adhere to the breed type of the Australian Shepherd. Even as fierce family companions, our dogs thrive in all environments they are put in. These are all qualities we strive to produce and pass along to the future of the Australian Shepherd.
About Us
From a young age, Jillian knew that she wanted to work with animals. While she participated in many activities growing up, it was always working with dogs that kept her most entertained. As she grew older, the passion never left. Instead, it sparked into a larger goal of helping her favorite breed - the Australian Shepherd - improve with its popularization in pet homes. Between good training, grooming, and breeding practices, Jillian is dedicated to keeping the Aussie versatile, beautiful, and functional. It is a pleasure to present Palomino Australian Shepherds with these goals in mind. Though we do not breed often, our intention is to always strive for solid health, temperament, structure, and working abilities. On top of it all, each of our dogs will be presented to have a structure that compliments their active lifestyles.
