As a small child I had my first dog, a collie by the name of Misty. She was the
love of my life, my constant companion and best friend. I used to pour over any
dog books I could get my hands on hoping that some day I might be able to own
my own kennel, show dogs and be surrounded by such wonderful animals.
I began to fulfill that dream a few years ago with the purchase of our dearest fur
friend by the name of Cooper. Although he is not a part of our breeding program,
he was a treasured member of our family.
While living in South Carolina, I began my education with the help of several
seasoned Sheltie breeders. I attended every show and seminar that was offered. I
began with one female as a foundation and was very pleased with the offspring.
We have since relocated to beautiful middle Tennessee . We have moved into our
new farm house with our beautiful Shelties and we are all enjoying lots of room to
romp. Some of the genetic tests we give our breeding animals include hips, eyes,
vWD, thyroid etc. We feel it is important to breed only the healthiest animals. We
look for beauty of course but we feel that beauty without good health and ideal
temperament is not what a true sheltie should be.
Many of our puppies have gone on to win in Agility, Obedience and Conformation.
I am proud to say that some are licensed Therapy Dogs visiting hospitals and rest
homes bringing joy to those who are confined. My biggest reward however is the
feedback I get from folks who own our puppies as pets. Every year I get calls of
thanks from owners that are living their lives with Shelties that are not only
beautiful, smart and healthy but are pure joy to live with.
