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.  
We have been breeding Shelties since 2003 but 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.
