I'm Tammy T., the breeder behind Cedar Hill Kennels located in Kerville, TX. I've been raising excellent family companions for over 25 years! I love playing my part in bettering the breed by providing healthy, happy, well-socialized and obedient dogs to my families. I love these four-legged companions and know you will too!
Q. & A. with Tammy
Why did you start breeding?
I bought my first Mastiff for my son in 1987 and fell in love with the breed. I was absolutely fascinated with the breed and I got my first Sheltie in 1992. It was the only breed that I was equally as exceptional as the Mastiff.
What makes your program special?
My dogs are all family first they are raised in the house with children and other animals. We live on 6 acres and they have lots of room to play in.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

This story is way late, however, Tammy was absolutely wonderful. We have kept in touch since I picked up Dakota. His name was “Happy”, and he definitely is happy. Dakota and other pup Lucy have become great friends, and they play really great together. Dakota is so smart!! He also gets along with my cats Vader and Obi-Wan. Vader and Dakota play and also have become friends. I cannot Thank Tammy enough for a wonderful puppy. She was very helpful on how this app works, all around a great breeder and someone who am very happy to call Friend!! Dakota is now 5 months old and thriving!! He is just fantastic!! Thank you Tammy!!!!

I brought Hanna Grace home at 4 1/2 months old. Now at just over a year old, she is sweet, smart and funny. I was grateful for the communications that we had during the planning stages of getting her from Tammy to our home in Oregon. My questions were always answered in a timely manner, and coordination for delivery and pick up at the airport was carefully done. I am so happy to have this sweet girl in my life!

We had such a great experience with Tammy! She kept us updated on Trixie's progress as we waited to pick her up and quickly answered any questions.
Trixie is a bit over 6 months now- such a great dog. Curious, confident, and all sheltie. She is the 5th shelite I have had the privilege of having in my life, and she is a standout. She has settled into our family so well; can't say enough great things about her and Tammy.

We had a great experience with Cedar Hill Kennels and with Tammy. She was very responsive and gave me regular updates of our puppy while we waited to pick him up. Good Dog made the process very easy also; from initial connection, to payment and arranging the pickup. We are very happy with Loki.
