We
breed to promote and preserve the Shetland Sheepdog
breed per our National Associations exacting guidelines.
From time to time we have puppies that do not meet the
specifications to carry on as a breeding/show dog. At
these times we must place these puppies as companion
animals. The dogs listed here are available to loving
homes where they can fulfill their calling as companions. Our puppies are
loved first and foremost,
They are the product of many tears of efforts to produce
happy, healthy representatives of the breed. We have
bred ASSA National winners, all breed Best In Show dogs,
dogs that have excelled and shown their virtues in
agility, obedience, herding and many other venues. Our dogs
have that special temperament that fits easily into your
lifestyle, The type of dogs that you will love and
cherish for many years to come. Safe with all children,
they have a solid temperament that can always be
trusted, with high intelligence, eagerness to please,
and a joy of life and family. They are agile and well
built with
standard correct bodies, that are built to do the
work their breed was meant to do. Of course we breed for
the conformation ring and strive for the ideal, but the
bigger picture of a happy healthy dog is of utmost
importance.
Since we take time to determine what home is best for
the puppies we breed, many are not available for show or
for pets till they are older in age. We do not always
sell puppies at 8 weeks, we may make them available at 3
months, 4 months, 5 months etc, instead. The additional
time, ensures that we care to make sure that you get the
puppy that is exactly what you want, we care where our
puppies go. These puppies may not be showable due to size, bite, or
coloring but they are every bit champions in their role
as companions. Enjoy our puppies' pictures and if you
would like to consider one for your home please read the
terms below.
Things to
Know
All dogs available from our kennel
are sold to approved homes only; We reserve the right to
choose what home is best for our dog. The welfare of our
puppies is of highest importance. Puppies will not be
held before purchase, all dogs are available until sold. References will be asked for and
checked, no puppy will be sold sight unseen. We must
meet you to adopt one of our puppies. It is very
important for us to develop a good relationship with our
puppy buyers and we feel that coming and meeting our
dogs in person allows you to get to know us better and
the type of home that your puppy has been raised in. We
hope that you will come back to us like many have for a
second or third dog.
We do not ship our pet puppies
 Covid-19
Update:
To help all of you with this pandemic, we have started a
service to allow for a safe contactless experience for
yourself and your new puppy. If you are wanting to
purchase a puppy from us but are unable to travel as
needed, we have found a way to offer a transport
service, as follows: My husband will make the
drive within the US for $2.25 a mile, (calculated one
way and included gas). If more than a 6 hour drive a hotel room
fee is charged as well. This is a door to
door service, straight from us to you, with interaction
with the puppy throughout the travel time, potty breaks
food, water and toy availability at all times and video
or pictures available during travel. This option
provides you a secure, familiar and safe option for you
puppy where you can just stay home and have the puppy
brought to you.
If you prefer to fly to pick up your furry friend we can meet
you at the Columbus or Dayton International airports for $45
charge.
Our pet puppies are now
available for $3000 for all colors except sables which
are $3400, this is subject to change. Please check
out our
Sales Contract. By purchasing a dog from us
you are attesting to have read the contract and agreeing
to its content. Please feel free to ask any questions
that you may have after reading the contract or when and
how you would like it provided to you. A copy will be
signed by all parties when puppy is purchased.
When you have chosen your puppy or
dog and we have approved your home, a non refundable
deposit of $200 will be due immediately to hold the dog
if you cannot take him home that day. The balance would
be due within a weeks time. This should be long enough
to get the balance to us and make arrangements for pick
up or delivery. This initial amount is deducted from the
original price/total amount due and is meant as "good
faith" for the final purchase. This will pertain to
puppies of any age. If after placing the deposit the
buyer does not follow through with the purchase of the
dog within a weeks time, the deposit will be forfeited.
If you need us to keep your puppy
or dog for an additional period of time before you can
take him/her home ie, you are going on vacation, getting
a fence finished, etc. We can keep the dog for up to 2
weeks at no charge provided that the dog is paid for in
full by 8 weeks or if older than 8 weeks; when
arrangements are made. This is provided on room and time
available. Any additional days spent with us past two
weeks will be charged $15 a day board and must be paid
in full before taking delivery of dog. If the purchaser
does not come back for the dog after 20 days from agreed
upon time and no further agreements have been made the
dog may be resold.
All puppies/dogs will come
up-to-date on shots and if old enough on Iverhart Plus,
Revolution, Heartguard
or Interceptor Plus for heartworm prevention and Frontline or
Advantage for flea and tick prevention. All dogs have
had dew claws removed shortly after birth and are raised
in our home with our 2 children, where they are held
constantly and accustomed to familiar noises. We take
great pride in their health and happiness and feel that
you will clearly see it when you meet them. When we
place our puppies much thought and years of experience has gone into the proper breedings to produce the best possible puppies and then
great care in finding them the best possible homes. All
dogs will leave with a packet of information, AKC
registration form, health
certificate with shot records, micro-chip and
registration info, vet check, signed
contract, food, and familiar toy. We are here at any
time to answer your questions before and after you take
your new family member home.
