About the Breeder:
I have been showing in AKC/CKC breed shows for a little over 11 years now. I became hooked on the breed when I saw my first sheltie as a child. It took me thirty years, but I finally got my first one, Houdi. He was a beautiful blue merle that needed some work and we worked hard. All of our hard work paid off. He not only finished his CH title in three shows but he got numerous BOBs and Group placements. I also show in agility, and obedience. All of our guys actively herd and adore it so they are not just a pretty face. :-) All dogs that are used in our breeding program must prove themselves in the ring (either performance or conformation). They must also be VetGen VwD clear, OFA hips good/excellent, OFA thyroid normal, and normal CERF (plus brucellosis free). We breed for type,temperment, and versatile nature plus breed to genetically clear dogs. We occasionally have puppies for sale and sell with a lifetime guarantee. I do try to keep our dogs on the small size ranging for 14 ' to 15' tall at the shoulder. This is a personal choice since I do show in agility and obedience and jump height is a consideration. As far as our little furkids, all live in the house with us and are part of the family. They are considered to be family first and show dogs second. In addition to my furkids, I run CGC clinics/testing in New York, help in training others for agility, and obedience, and I occasionally take on Junior handlers to show them the ropes (taking them to all the shows that I attend).
