Keith has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
Keith partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape.
“We believe the best puppy match is about more than choosing a color, sex, or the first puppy available. Every Sheltie has their own personality, energy level, confidence, and temperament, and our goal is to place each puppy with the family where they will thrive. Our Matching Process When you inquire about a puppy, we take the time to learn about your family and lifestyle, including: * Your experience with dogs and Shelties * Your activity level and typical daily routine * Children or other pets in the home * Whether you’re looking for a companion, performance prospect, or future breeding/show prospect * The temperament and energy level you feel would fit your household best * Any other preferences or considerations that are important to your family As the puppies grow, we spend time observing and interacting with each one. We pay close attention to their temperament, confidence, sociability, energy, independence, and overall personality. Rather than assigning puppies solely in the order deposits are received, we use this information to help determine which puppy is the best fit for each family. Families are welcome to share their preferences—including sex, coloring, markings, and personality—but our priority is always creating a successful lifelong match between the puppy and their family. We want you to bring home the puppy you love, but more importantly, we want that puppy to be the one that loves your family right back and fits naturally into your life. Our goal isn’t simply to place puppies. It’s to make the right match.”

“The price includes vet wellness exam, deworming, vaccination, AKC registration, and proper socialization. A non-refundable deposit is required to reserve a puppy from an upcoming or current litter. Deposits are applied toward the total purchase price and help ensure serious, committed homes.”
Keith may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Keith offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Keith directly.
When you pay and communicate on Good Dog, you’re covered by Payment Protection.
You can drive or fly to pick up your puppy from Keith.

Here’s an update on our beloved Winnie! She’s doing so well and has really bonded with her new family. We love watching them grow up along the way!

They are so goofy and playful, until they’ve worn themselves out. 3 males remain for Christmas and I’m falling in love everyday with all of them.

Today we decided the bring out the food puzzle to introduce them to their new food in the next week or so! They’re growing up so fast and are becoming extremely playful! They’re also super cute and smart I think anyways ☺️

About Brookie
Brookie is a female Shetland Sheepdog about 2 years old. Carefully selected as a great representative of her breed, Keith decided to make her part of their program. Keith has passed Good Dog’s screening process, which involved a review of their breeding practices, environment, and the mental and physical health of their dogs.

Keith was very responsive. My pup was up to date on all shots,and my vet said puppy Frankie was in excellent shape. Frankie has some teeth issues and Keith was up front about it. Frankie is best buddies with our other pups.

From the very beginning, Keith and Tessa stayed in close communication with us. They kept us updated and even scheduled a Zoom call so we could meet our puppy and her mama. Every question we had was answered, and it was clear how deeply they cared about Brookie and the litter she delivered. Making payment through Good Dog was simple, and we easily arranged delivery with Keith. We couldn’t be more in love with our special Shetland—she adores people (and our 5 Grandkids from 2 years to 12), plays with our older Sheltie so sweetly and is already so quick to learn. Credit goes to Midwest Shelties for the love and care they give their puppies. We truly hope everyone has an experience like this when getting a dog. Steve, Angela & Gracie

From start to finish we had the best experience with Keith and his wife. Communication was excellent, they were very informative and accommodating. You can tell they truly care for these fur babies and take the time to work with them and socialize them and train them. Would 100% use them again and again! We love our new edition and he is absolutely gorgeous!
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.
