Meet the breeder
I'm Tricia H., the breeder behind Lacewood Shetland Sheepdogs located in Mapleton, UT. We breed to the AKC standard. We pride ourselves on breeding healthy dogs with wonderful temperaments. Our dogs compete in conformation and performance venues as well as being beloved family companions. We have high expectations for our puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving home! I have a couple of adult girls that are ready to be place with a family.
Q. & A. with Tricia
Why did you start breeding?
I love putting the perfect puppy with the perfect family. It is so wonderful to see the joy this brings people. The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is the most rewarding experience ever!What makes your program special?
I try to breed for healthy, well-adjusted dogs that will make excellent companions, performance, or conformation dogs. I hold myself to a high standard when it comes to my dogs and my policies. I am thorough in health testing and caring for my dogs, and I make sure each puppy gets the proper group and individual care that it needs to thrive. My goal is to ensure that every dog that comes from my program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves my care.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
