Country Chic Shelties meets or exceeds our community standards in these areas:

Shetland Sheepdog
About Gypsy
Gypsy: She is retired. She was a good momma. Patient and calm to her babies.

Shetland Sheepdog
About Gracie
Gracie: She just turned 2 years old in September. She is also very energetic but not as much as Marley. She needs to be doing something all the time. Chewing on a bone or in your lap getting some attention. She loves to cuddle and does not want to share for the most part. Gracie loves to give eye contact like she needs approval.

Shetland Sheepdog
About Magnolia
Magnolia: She is the family security dog. She will let everyone know if a leaf fell on the ground. She acts like there is never an emergency and struts as slow as she possibly can. She is like a princess. She is always the last to eat and lets everyone else eat first. She loves taking care of other puppies and thrives on that environment.

Shetland Sheepdog
About Jack
Jack: He is energetic but not as much as Marley. He is a talker but only when he has something to say. Like when he wants to go outside or someone is doing something wrong. I can count on him to let me know. He is leery of strangers but most Shelties are. He is the first one to eat and lets everyone know that he should eat first, no matter what. All the others obey it like it is second nature to them.

Shetland Sheepdog
About Shelby
Shelby is the alpha girl. She puts everyone in their place and lets me know every time someone is doing something naughty. She is a talker and will talk to the tv if need be.

Shetland Sheepdog
About Marley
Marley: He will be 1 year old on November 16th. He is on the larger size about 16.5" and weighs approximately 26lbs. He is very energetic. However, he is young and very active. He out runs all my dogs. He is also a happy and wants attention. He does not meet a stranger ever. They all seem to be his best friend almost immediately.
