We have dogs in all venues, confirmation, agility, obedience and therapy dogs. Our puppies are raised under foot, no kennel situation. They also come with a 3 genetic guarantee. We provide pics and videos.

Q. & A. with Kristi

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always been an animal lover, once I started in confirmation that was it for me. I love breeding dogs that can compete in all venues. Confirmation, agility, fast cat, and i have several that have been therapy dogs as well

  • What makes your program special?

    My breeding program stands, because I am fortunate to have the time to devote to my dogs on a daily basis. They are raised in my home and under foot. We start simple training techniques even as small puppies.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Leigh Hi Shelties reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Shetland Sheepdogs.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • von Willebrand Disease III (vWD III), Dermatomyositis, Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1), Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
