| We purchased our first Sheltie in the summer of 2000 and fell in love with the intelligence of the breed. Our first little girl was a granddaughter of CH Vanguard Nightline and CH Harbor Lite Legend what a great start to our Foundation Breeding Stock. Since that time we have been fortunate enough to enhance our program with an own son of CH Four Seasons Blue Boy and out of an own daughter of CH Acorn Business Man. In 2007, we started our AKC and UKC show career and began showing our dogs in both Breed classes and Agility where they have been quite successful Our boys and girls have earned both Breed Championships and Agility Titles. In 2008, we began our Herding Career with Dino and in a few short months he earned his AKC HSAs Title and his ASCA STDs & OTDs titles along with an AKC Rally title. After a year off due to an injury, we are looking forward to 2010 Shelties love to work and play and we believe that they should be allowed to do this on a daily basis. All of our dogs are family members and spend time inside and outside the house Colorado Weather Permitting . On occasion, we offer pet puppies on a spay or neuter contract to approved homes only. All of our puppies are very well socialized by the time they are old enough to come live with their new families. Although we have only been in Shelties since 2000, we grew up breeding Herding dogs and Champion bred Labradors in the 1960's and 1970's. We have also raised and bred Quarter Horses for over 30 years. Puppies occasionally, please see our Puppy Policies page for more information about our Available PUPPIES |
