Meet the breeder

I'm Tiffany J., the breeder behind Jensen Farms Shelties located in Fontanelle, IA. We offer pups with great personalities as well as smarts, train-ability, and drive to go many directions. Our pups will be your best friend and create memories that last. We work hard to raise pups that are incredibly social. Our sires/dams are health tested to make sure your pup will live a long healthy life. Pups get shots/deworming done before going home. They also come with papers and a guarantee.

Q. & A. with Tiffany

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My mom has actually raised German shepherds, for around 40 years now, so I have lots of experience being around dogs/puppies and their health/care needs. When I realized how special Sky was, I knew that I wanted more shelties in my life and I especially wanted to carry on her bloodlines. That was more than enough to get me started in raising shelties and continuing my love for the breed.

  • What makes your program special?

    My bloodlines today go back to my first dog Sky. I work hard to raise, especially social dogs as well as dogs that are highly trainable. I still do some showing when I can with my adult dogs. All of these guys are so special to me and not just here to raise puppies. They were chosen to raise puppies for a special reason. Each one of them is special in their own way that adds to our program.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

    After recently losing my beloved Sheltie, I was devastated. The grief is still very real, but I knew in my heart that I wanted to keep sharing my love and attention with another Sheltie — one who would also be unique and special in her own way. It took me weeks of searching, but I am so grateful that my search led me to Tiffany at Jensen Farms Shelties. From the moment I visited, I could see the care and dedication put into raising these dogs. The place where the puppies are kept was clean, well-organized, and filled with healthy, happy dogs — from the parents to the puppies, every one of them looked so well cared for. That gave me peace of mind and comfort in such an emotional decision. Pink (Luna now) came to me bright, joyful, and full of life. I can already tell she had the best start possible thanks to the environment and the attention she received. Finding her has brought light back into my days, and I couldn’t be more thankful to this breeder for the love and responsibility that Tiffany shows toward her Shelties. If you’re looking not just for a puppy, but for a breeder who raises them with genuine heart, cleanliness, and care, I couldn’t recommend them more.

    Tiffany IS responsive and knowledgeable and a wonderful breeder! She carefully chooses the parents of the dogs she's trying to breed in order to improve the breed--exactly as a responsible breeder should! Tiffany even went so far as to check the DNA of the parents to make certain that no genetic diseases leaks through to any puppies! My Banfield Optimum Wellness plan included an automatic DNA test, which really wasn't necessary, but I sent the results to Tiffany anyway. Finally, Tiffany Jensen prices her puppies within reason! Locally, a Shetland Sheepdog costs about $4,000.00, which is sky-high! I checked on Good Dog, and the prices were back down to NORMAL! Tiffany charges $1,500 for a healthy happy puppy from Iowa, and then Puppysbreath Conceirge (with Eric and Kathryn- email puppiesbreathpetconcierge@gmail.com, or call Eric and Deena Mirrow at (413) 306-9953) charge between $600 and $900 to professionally drive the little guy from Iowa to New Jersey, a trip of over a Thousand Miles! Kathryn even began the puppy's potty training for me for a nominal fee, and sent me a leather strap with bells on it, to teach the dog to ring the bells when he needs to go out! I highly recommend all three of you, Good Dog, Tiffany Jensen, and Puppysbreath transport service to anyone who wants a new doggie!
