I'm Susan B., the breeder behind Shalamar Shelties located in Nampa, ID. I have a standard of breeding quality Shetland Sheepdogs. My dogs are fully health tested CHIC dogs and many become Grand Champions. I take a lot of pride in the dogs that I produce.

Q. & A. with Susan
Why did you start breeding?
My first Sheltie was Dude. He was a Valentine's Day gift from my hubby John. Little did he know what he started!What makes your program special?
Experts in the breed mentored me and taught me type, head detail and how to breed the right dogs to establish my family of dogs and keep the look that I love consistently.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are sable and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
