Q. & A. with Kim
What makes your program special?
I breed Shelties once a year or every other year, with a strong focus on quality and health. All of my dogs are fully tested using the Sheltie Panel, including screening for DMS, a serious autoimmune disease. All adults and puppies have tested low risk for DMS. We are very selective with our breeding. Our Shelties are within the correct size range for show. We only breed sable and white Shelties.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are sable and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Dillon
Dillon is an energetic and athletic dog, excelling in speed and agility—especially when it comes to fetch, where he consistently outpaces the competition. Affectionate and people-focused, he enjoys close bonds with his family and thrives on human interaction. His calm and steady temperament makes him a joy to train and live with. Dillon also enjoys swimming in the pool, adding an extra layer of versatility to his playful nature. His coat is long, full, and beautifully maintained, showcasing his striking mahogany sable and white coloration. With well-defined markings, Dillon’s appearance is a perfect reflection of the breed standard. Structurally sound and balanced, he stands at an ideal height for his breed for show, presenting a graceful yet athletic profile. Recently, Dillon earned his first show win in his age group, a promising start to his future in the ring. He is AKC registered. Dillon has had a full Sheltie Genetic Panel done including the optional DMS test. I have uploaded the results for viewing.
