Meet the breeder

I'm Betty B., the breeder behind Wysteria Mist Shetland Sheepdogs located in Cottage Grove, MN. Our program is dedicated to breeding dogs that are representations of the standard and will make a positive contribution to their line and to their families. Starting in 2021, I am giving a rebate of $25 for my puppies earning the CGC title. My breeding dogs hold the status of CHIC in OFA. I occasionally could have a adult available. I AM NOT OUT OF BREEDING SHELTIES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Q. & A. with Betty

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When you have all of those animals you end up in the breeding of them for both competition and to share you love of them to others.

  • What makes your program special?

    My animals except the farm animals have always been raised in my actual home. They are next to my bedroom so I am always there for them. I have a beautiful yard that let them play outside in a nice yard. My grandchildren from 1-20 years of age spend lots of time with my litters. I usually breed once a year, so I can then train and compete with my upcoming puppies and adults.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
