Soliare Shetland Sheepdogs
Meet the breeder
I'm Suzanne H., the breeder behind Soliare Shetland Sheepdogs located in San Antonio, TX. I produce pups that will continue to excel in their chosen field, whether that be working, showing, or as an active companion. My puppies are bred for health, temperament, head shape, and to meet conformation standards. I know the health and status of every dog I have bred and am proud of the quality of my puppies.
Q. & A. with Suzanne
Why did you start breeding?
I regularly participate in conformation shows and started breeding to continue and improve upon my prized line. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in raising these wonderful dogs.What makes your program special?
I strive to breed healthy, quality pups that can fit any lifestyle. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
