Shelties are not for everyone. They are very loyal
family dogs and desire to live in the house with their
family. Most shelties are sensitive and should
never be subjected to heavy handed corrections or their
temperaments could be ruined for life. If left in
a back yard unattended for long periods of time, they
will get bored and lonely and could become disruptive to
your neighbors as they are barkers or worse yet, get
themselves into serious trouble that could cause them
harm. We ask that anyone looking to purchase a
sheltie, do your homework to determine if you or your
lifestyle is right for a sheltie. If you are never
home and can't devote the time to a sheltie that he/she
requires, then a sheltie is not for you.
We are not a kennel and we breed on a very limited basis
only. We breed for quality and not for quantity.
Only show quality dogs based on our breed standard
written by our parent club, The American Shetland
Sheepdog Association, are used in our program.
Occasionally we might have an older adult and or pet
puppy available. If we don't have a sheltie puppy
and or adult available, we are willing to offer our
assistance in helping you find a quality sheltie from a
reputable breeder through our many resources.
All
of our adult dogs have been tested to rule out genetic
abnormalities i.e., hip dysplasia, inherited eye
problems, thyroid disease and DNA gene testing for Von
Willebrand's disease, (hemophilia) before any breeding
takes place. All puppies at the age of
8 weeks are taken to our veterinarian for a complete
exam and first vaccinations. Wormings are started
at two weeks of age and continue until puppy is
released to their new home. No puppies are
released under the age of 8 weeks.
All dogs for sale through this website are sold to
approved homes only. We reserve the right to
choose which home is best for the dog, according to our
terms and conditions. Please fill out our
questionnaire below for consideration to be placed on
our wait list. Being on our wait list does not
guarantee you a puppy. All show prospect puppies
are retained here unless otherwise noted.
