I'm Kathy M., the breeder behind Keeara’s Shetland Sheepdogs located in Hoschton, GA. I offer quality and healthy Shelties bred to the standard. I breed my Shelties to be good in conformation, performance, and quality pets. They are raised in my home and are properly socialized as puppies. I believe quality is more important than quantity.
