Shetland Sheepdogs, also known as Shelties, are the greatest dogs in the world! They are known for their sweet, loving and loyal personalities. They also have an uncanny ability to know what you are thinking, probably because they are so intelligent, and very observant. All of these qualities, plus their willingness to please, make the Sheltie an excellent choice as a companion. Shelties excel in herding, obedience, agility, flyball, etc.

All of my dogs live in the house and spend time interacting with my family, as I believe they should be Companions first and....even Show Dogs enjoy warming the couch! As I strive to breed to the ideals of the standard, I like to place extra emphasis on good Temperament as well as good Health and good Structure. All of my dogs are screened for genetic disorders prior to breeding, and I plan 0-2 litters a year.

I am a member in good standing with the CKC, a member of the ASSA (National Sheltie Club of USA), Past President for the HCKOC (my local All Breed Club) and Past President of SASSA (Saskatoon Area Shetland Sheepdog Association).

I am actively involved in local Sheltie Rescue, doing what is necessary to help out those dear ones, who, through no fault of their own, have fallen on hard times. To help defray expenses that may be incurred, I have organized various Fund Raisers such as Grooming Workshops, Online Auctions, hotdog sales, etc.

If you feel you have the time and space to help with Sheltie Rescue, please contact me as I’m always looking for foster homes. I believe the below statement reflects my feeling the best:

"A breeder who has no interest in Rescue of what he has produced is of no value to anyone,
and even less value to his breed."
