Meet the breeder

I'm Deborah D., the breeder behind Deborah Devers's Shetland Sheepdogs located in East Highland, MI. I breed healthy, beautiful puppies. My focus is on maintaining the breed standard by raising structurally sound and correct puppies with excellent temperaments. I know the health and status of every dog I have bred and am proud of the quality of my puppies. I love my dogs and what I do.

Q. & A. with Deborah

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I regularly participate in conformation shows and started breeding to continue and improve upon my prized Shetland Sheepdog line. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in raising these wonderful dogs.

  • What makes your program special?

    I am a professional handler of Shetland Sheepdogs. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
