Meet the breeder

I'm Ashley G., the breeder behind Southside Shelties located in Wolcott, IN. I breed performance dogs and pets for life! My Shetland Sheepdogs are great family pets with the drive to succeed in anything! I genetically test all of my dogs to ensure that puppies will not be affected by any preventable conditions. My puppies are raised with Puppy Culture to ensure they're the most well-rounded puppies they can be!

Q. & A. with Ashley

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have bred and shown Chinchillas for years. Eventually, this transitioned into breeding Shetland Sheepdogs! Breeding has been such a fulfilling and rewarding journey.

  • What makes your program special?

    I breed healthy and versatile dogs. I genetically test all of my dogs for CEA (Eye Anomaly), PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy), VWD-III (von Willebrand's disease), DM (Degenerative Myelopathy), and the MDR1 (Multidrug Resistance) gene. My dogs are all trained not only as companions, but work with me to do tricks and compete in sports like agility. Now that we live on a farm, many of them also double as farm dogs!

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Ashley was was easy to work with and answered all my questions promptly. I would definitely use her and Southside Shelties again. DaisyMae is doing wonderfully.

    I cannot recommend Ashley and Southside Shelties strongly enough. For me going the breeder route was a challenging choice; but I knew I was trying to find a dog with specific criteria to fit my needs (I’ll train him into a service dog so needs smarts and temperament + the right size for a city apartment + would be respectful of our cat). This led me a Sheltie search; and when I read about Ashley’s breeding program and we had our initial conversation it felt like a great match. Wow was I right!! Not only was she a fabulous communicator in the lead up to picking him up (and after!) it put me so at ease that she wasn’t just telling me about his health but personality and cognitive development. Her updates were so awesome. Photos. Videos. Cute stories of who he was showing himself to be — she really understand the puppies as little people. My belief is if his temperament or emotional or mental development didn’t show him to be the right dog for me she would have suggested a different dog in the litter or even to wait for a future litter. Lucky for me though Chutney is/was the right puppy for me!! The records she keeps of his health and development are fabulous. My vet and I were so impressed. Also additional literature Ashley shares in his puppy folder (and a flash drive of his many photos and a goody bag!!) are SO thorough she truly sets you up for success. I also am so thankful that he already came home in love with his crate and microchipped with her as a backup. Heaven forbid anything ever happens to me and my family but I have so much comfort knowing if it did - she is who would get the call about our dog and make sure he is ok. I can almost guarantee we will get a second dog from Ashley in the future as the process working with her, her program, and our puppy himself are all beyond expectation. I am so thankful for GoodDog that it led us to Ashley!!

    Ashley was so easy to work with. She was very accessible and always responded to my questions in a timely fashion. Her dogs are beautiful, and I could not be happier with my little Charlotte (formerly Soona). When I worried about the distance between East Tennessee and north Indiana, she informed me that she had a trusted courier that could help with transport, and indeed, we met the courier with our puppy in Lexington, KY, for a smooth handoff. I would recommend Southside and Ashley to anyone!

    Our experience with Ashley and Southside Shelties has been the best! We could not be happier with our puppy, Sunny! Ashley was very helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive whenever we had any questions. She provided regular pictures, videos, and updates for us. We could see how much she loves her dogs! She even contacted us after we brought our puppy home, just to see how Sunny was doing, and offer any help we needed. We cannot say enough great things about Ashley and Southside Shelties. We love our little Sunny. Everyone who meets her comments on how cute and smart she is! We would definitely recommend Ashley and her dogs to anyone who is looking for a sheltie pup!

    We couldn’t be happier with Ashley throughout every part of the process of adopting our puppy. From our initial inquiry, the application, the pictures and our endless questions. She sent us pictures and videos beside the ones on the Good Dog site. She took great care to thoroughly answer our questions within a short period of time. She was very knowledgable about breeding and caring for the parents and their puppies. Good Dog has specific guidelines for breeding, genetic testing and nurturing and raising the puppies. Ashley was transparent and shared the parent’s genetic testing results on her Good Dog puppy profile. When we picked up our puppy we were given a goody bag full of treats, enough food for several weeks, all kinds of toys and chew toys and an information packet that was very helpful. She even gave us a thumb drive with all pictures she took of our puppy and his litter mates from birth until when we picked him up.

    Ashley was extremely helpful the entire way through. She was very responsive the entire process and answered any questions we had about the litter. Even after taking Goose home, she answered any questions I had. She sent us home with a puppy starter pack with toys, food, and treats. We are constantly complimented on how gorgeous and smart our dog is. We are so pleased with our decision to use Southside Shelties and would consider doing so again in the future if we got another dog!
