We breed our Shelties to the AKC breed standard, and health test all of our dogs.  We believe that the temperament of your dog should be friendly and approachable, which isn't always easy to get. Temperament without a healthy dog is useless so rest assured we are selective about who we breed.

Bud is retired and keeps himself busy raising chickens and bees as well as dogs.  Pam always loved Shelties, and 
Bud talked her into doing AKC Conformation about seven years ago.  We've met so many amazing Sheltie people along the way who have become close friends.  If we don't have what you're looking for, we can offer a referral to other local breeders. 

Our youngest daughter has complex medical issues and she and Pam realized how much impact a visit from a friendly dog can have when you're in the hospital.  After seeing dogs lift our daughter's spirit, Pam vowed to have a volunteer therapy dog if we ever had the right dog.  Scout and Margo are both Therapy Dogs at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. and we're hoping Margo's daughter June will follow in their path when she gets a bit older.  Margo typically has a therapy gig about once a week at the hospital.

We want all of our dogs be known for their personality, even if it's not in a conformation ring or a therapy visit.
We raise all puppies in our home and on our farm, and expose them to noises, experiences, and socialization from day one.  They always have a home here if your situation changes, and we are available for support and mentoring at any time.
