Meet the breeder
I'm Shelby K., the breeder behind Sterling Steele Collies located in Henderson, NC. I’m a small-scale breeder of adorable Collie puppies. I love what I do and strive to produce the best puppies for my buyers. I provide my puppies with a safe, clean, and enriching environment where they can grow and learn about the world until they are ready to venture out and experience life with their forever families!
Q. & A. with Shelby
Why did you start breeding?
I hope to help families find their puppies from responsible and ethical sources to help build a better and safer world for our dogs. Seeing each of my puppies' families experience the same level of joy that my dogs bring me is an amazing experience!What makes your program special?
I treasure each puppy in my program and give them all the attention and care that I possibly can. I work hard so my puppies can leave my home with confidence, ready to take on the world with their new family!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
Amelia, mom
Collie
About Amelia
While Amelia has great Genetic health, I have decided that she is not fit for a breeding prospect any longer. But she is a great Ambassador to show off some traits that I will be looking for in a new bitch to add to the program!
Remington, dad
Collie
About Remington
Remington is the wonderful boy that started my love and passion for the breed. This wonderful boy has not yet sired a litter as I’m waiting for the perfect bitch to pair him with and join our program ❤️
