Meet the breeder

I'm Linda K., the breeder behind Something Royal Shelties located in Belen, NM. I believe that if you commit to producing dogs of sound structure and take care of their minds and bodies, your pups will grow up to be happy, healthy, and beautiful. I am proud to be raising these wonderful dogs and will always commit to maintaining the highest quality standards for my program.

Q. & A. with Linda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I am purposeful in everything that I do regarding my dogs, which includes careful selection of breeding dogs and extensive health testing. My goal is to produce healthy dogs with great temperaments, working drives, and conformation that are exemplary representations of the breed.

  • What makes your program special?

    I am a professional handler of Shetland Sheepdogs. 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 strive to breed healthy, quality pups that can fit any lifestyle. 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.

    It was wonderful to work with Linda, and I was able to adopt the sweetest, most loving Sheltie! Communication was excellent throughout the process, and it is obvious that Linda is a true professional.
