In breeding in breeding small shelties my first goal is excellent health. I very carefully select my breeding dogs to ensure that I produce sturdy puppies who grow to be healthy long lived adults. My beautiful little shelties have refined, but sturdy builds favoring that of the English sheltie. I breed for shelties that stand aproximately 11 - 13 inches at the withers and 7 - 14 lbs. I also occasionally have standard size sheltie pups available. All of my dogs have outstanding working drives, and as a result they make wonderful performance dogs. They are natural herders. These dogs are active, fast, smart, and strong, with plenty of stamina. They also are very affectionate, and can be outstanding therapy dogs and companions. They are amazingly obedient and devoted. They are active when called upon to be so, but they are calm, quite, and contented otherwise. They are small enough to sit in your lap. They are easy to travel with, and can fit into a dog purse.
My shelties are raised around children, my goat, my collie, and cats so they get along well with everyone.
All of my dogs are housedogs. They spend days downstairs with the family. A few sleep in my bed. They are never boarded, when I travel I take them with me. I take them canoeing, hiking, and biking, as well as other activities.
I feed my dogs Apex dog food for the reason that it is a premium quality food containing no corn, wheat, soy, or other low quality ingredients. More information on this subject can be found on the page titled "Nutrition."
My dogs are trained (or being trained) in agility, obedience, and carting, along with a few tricks. Some of them compete in agility.
I am a member of the Toy Sheltie Club of America. I also run Southeast Herding Breed Rescue as I believe that if you do not rescue then you should not breed. All of my dogs are registered with the American Kennel Club.
I have a thirty day refund policy on my dogs. If you decide that the dog is not a good match for your household, you are welcome to bring him back unharmed within thirty days of the adoption for a full refund of the price of the dog. I accasionally give full or partial refunds after the 30-days has ended. I will ship to approved homes and I have successfully shipped many pups and dogs.
It is very important to me that any puppies that I have for sale find wonderful homes that are suited to their individual temperaments. For this reason I have a selective adoption proccess.
