About Us

We bought our first sheltie in 1995 and were hooked.

I showed extensively in the 4H dog program. Highlights include 2 state champion titles in obedience (Beginner and Graduate Open) and over 15 county champion wins in obedience, agility, showmanship, and rally obedience.

I have taught obedience and agility classes, taken multiple courses at the University of MN on genetics and animal behavior and have attended several seminars and conferences on behavior and care of animals as well.

We are dedicated to raising happy, healthy sheltie puppies in a family environment

Each puppy receives a temporary call name and learn each puppy's unique personality. Every pup gets a tremendous amount of individual attention, and is held every day of its first few weeks of life. Every puppy goes on at least 3 car rides, usually to nursing homes, schools, pet stores, the park etc. We do our best to ensure that each family recieves the puppy that is best fit to their life.

 

Puppies are sold with AKC registration. They have their dew claws removed, have received their first set of shots, and have had a vet check. They have also been wormed and are taken outside every few hours to initiate potty training. They are exposed to cats, vacuums, horses, chickens, ducks, and various other animals and household noises. We post pictures of puppies every week so you can watch them grow up.

 

Puppies leave our home with their AKC papers, and a sample of the food they have been eating so any change can be made slowly. They are bathed as needed and have their nails trimmed several times for training. We also like to send with a favorite toy.

 

If you have any questions or concerns after bringing the puppy home, I am always happy to help with puppy training questions.
