Q. & A. with Lindy
Why did you start breeding?
My love for Shetland Sheepdogs inspired me to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. I have always loved dogs and was excited to establish my breeding program. I have loved the journey and I am a proud breeder of Shetland Sheepdogs with a focus on temperament and the overall mental and physical health of my puppies. I love placing happy, healthy puppies with loving families.What makes your program special?
I breed dogs based upon the AKC standard. Each pup is cherished from the moment of birth and given the best start I can possibly provide. In my breeding program, good health and temperament are essential, cuteness is guaranteed, and lots of love is always included!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Seashells 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 Dysplasia
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.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)
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, Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1)
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).
