Meet the breeder
I'm Sandi M., the breeder behind Sandi Marino located in Klamath Falls, OR. I have always wanted shelties and as a vet tech since 1998 have never had the opportunity to have them until now. With teenage kids and all their friends and 4h projects now being goats, It is the right time to have them. We live on a small hobby farm with many animals. We are learning how to work them on goats. They are exposed to every day living with lots of commotion. And since I work for a small animal vet practice they get to go to work with me when there vaccines are finished if they haven't found a home yet. There they get even more socialization! I firmly believe in health testing to make sure we are not passing on genetic diseases. I want to bring the best of both show and working together.
Q. & A. with Sandi
Why did you start breeding?
This is the first time I have not had all spayed or neutered dogs. I love shelties so much that I decided I would like to try to have puppies that will look good while working and have clear health testing.What makes your program special?
Looks, temperament and working ability.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable and white and black white and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Good level
Sandi Marino reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Shetland Sheepdogs.

Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Vet Wellness Exam
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
von Willebrand Disease III (vWD III), Dermatomyositis, Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1), Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
