Meet the breeder

I'm Pat R., the breeder behind Pat's Shetland Sheepdogs located in Williams, AZ. Our puppies are excellent representations of their breed, and we are proud to offer our high-quality puppies to loving homes. As breeders, we are very selective in our breeding decisions. We prioritize maintaining a manageable breeding program to allow individual socialization of each puppy.

Q. & A. with Pat

  • What makes your program special?

    I’m very selective about the Shelties I use for my breeding program. I have my own line of health tested dogs with solid temperaments. When breeding I look for these same qualities to improve both my line and keep strictly to the Sheltie Standards. Often top dogs in the country. I often have companion puppies in a litter and work to find them the best family/home
