I'm Carleen P., the breeder behind Southern Charm Sheltie’s located in Virginia. We focus on the proper development of all our puppies because we know that each one is unique and deserving of undivided love and attention. Each puppy is bred, raised, and loved indoors to ensure health, happiness, and harmony at the start of its life. At Southern Charm, beauty is a given, but producing healthy, loving, and versatile Shelties is our true goal.
