Q. & A. with Sheila
Why did you start breeding?
My grandma breeds Shelties and I've always loved dogs when I couldn't find the quality of dogs I was looking for at a price I could afford, I wanted to be able to help other families out that way too.
What makes your program special?
We strive for the best possible matches, with people and animals. Service, ESA, dogs are our goal.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Sheila was great throughout the process to adopt our puppy! She was very responsive to any questions we had and very friendly as well. The pick up process went smoothly and she had all of our puppy's important papers ready to go. Thank you Sheila for making this process easy and reassuring for us, and of course for the amazing puppy we adopted into our family 😁
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
