My start in Shelties began in 2018 after a fortuitous meeting with a handsome sable Sheltie when I was purchasing puppy lessons as a Christmas gift for a friend. Unbeknownst to me at the time, this would be the start of a new passion.

​

My involvement with dogs was basic and I really had never been exposed to any dog activities outside of watching Westminster on the tv. My first dog, Kagen, and his breeder, Peggy Crawford, changed all of that. Peggy encouraged me to step out in efforts to ensure Kagen was a well-rounded, socialized canine citizen. During our first weekend of showing, Kagen earned his first 2 majors and 2 Rally Novice legs. Two months later, at 9 months he went on to earn his Championship with 2 more majors!

​

As I have stepped into the whelping box, my goal has been to provide dogs that are sociable, sound of mind and body, and able to venture out into any venue whether that is as a companion or as a future Champion. I utilize Puppy Culture in raising my puppies with ENS in the early days. All puppies are raised in my home with appropriate socialization once old enough for visitors and trips out.
