Andrew S.

Breeder of Shetland Sheepdogs

Meet the breeder

I'm Andrew S., the breeder behind Andrew Spiegel located in Chester, MD. We love our Shelties like family members. We raise them to be pets and companions for others who want loyal and loving animals in their homes and lives.

Q. & A. with Andrew

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We got Nova 5 years ago at 8 weeks old. We all fell in love with her immediately and decided we needed a second Sheltie. 6 months later, we had Cosmo. Again, instant love. Since neither had been spayed or neutered, and I had people asking for puppies if I ever bred them, and we all really wanted other people to experience the joy of Shelties, I did my research and let them breed.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our dogs live with us, sleep with us, play with us, and go on vacation with us. We raise companions and friends, not commodities. I will not ship my puppies by air and I need to meet their future families before I will let them go. Until they are adopted, our puppies are raised with both parents and their human family.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
