I'm Laura G., the breeder behind Hillbrae Shetland Sheepdogs located in Montauk, NY. My main goal is to produce healthy Shelties that fit breed standard, with exceptional temperaments. I compete in dog sports. I strive to produce well adjusted puppies that can excel in any venue and make wonderful companions.
Q. & A. with Laura
Why did you start breeding?
I purchased a pet male Sheltie that I neutered, and soon became interested in breeding. I then purchased a female who became my foundation.
What makes your program special?
I put my heart and soul into my dogs, they are adored pets as well as show dogs. I educate myself on the most current information on producing well adjusted puppies suitable for anything their owners may want to achieve with them.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
