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.
