I'm Kelsey and Eric S., the breeder behind SquiresShelties located in Oakley, CA.
Q. & A. with Kelsey and Eric
Why did you start breeding?
Eric had a Sheltie growing up, it was the most amazing companion for him after his father passed. He then realized he could never live without the love of a Sheltie by his side and wanted to help bring that to the lives of others.
What makes your program special?
From the start of their lives we incorporate early neurological stimulation with our pups. We pride ourselves on making sure our dogs are well socialized, becoming the best companions for their new owners. We spend one on one attention with all of our pups individually giving them the attention and love they need. Each dog is unique and special.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable and white, black white and tan, blue merle and white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
