Kim W.

Breeder of Shetland Sheepdogs

Meet the breeder

I'm Kim W., the breeder behind Odyssey Shetland Sheepdogs located in Pleasant Shade, TN. I am a proud breeder of Shetland Sheepdogs focusing on quality, health, show, and companionship. I love my dogs and what I do. My dogs are bred with the priorities of being healthy, good minded, sound, and versatile. I strive to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues AND have the ability to be wonderful family companions.

Q. & A. with Kim

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My love for Shetland Sheepdogs inspired me to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same.

  • What makes your program special?

    I am a professional handler of Shetland Sheepdogs. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible breeding policies not only when producing puppies, but when socializing and training them, too! I utilize Puppy Culture protocols to prepare them to excel in their forever homes. I truly love my dogs and what I do and want the very best for my pups and their forever families.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
