I'm Tammy R., the breeder behind Maple Leaf Shelties located in Maricopa County, AZ. My motto has always been, I'm not selling a dog. I'm adding a member to your family. The goal we set and which I believe is still the most important, is to produce healthy puppies that make a well-rounded character in an adult dog. Sometimes the most ordinary things can be made extraordinary simply by doing them with a Shetland Sheepdog!
