Breeding Philosophy



We never breed simply to have puppies. Our emphasis is on producing Quality, not Quantity. Each breeding is carefully planned, not only in the hopes of producing outstanding show prospects, but even more importantly, healthy, well adjusted puppies that you (and we) can live with. All homes are screened to ensure the compatability of the puppy and people. We want both you and the puppy to be happy with each other. After all, Shelties generally live to 12 years old and Eskies often to 15. That's a long time to enjoy each other.

We provide a written contract with each puppy or adult placed. We don't have a zillion question form for you to fill out if you're interested in one of our puppies or adults. Simply drop us an email, tell us about yourself and we will "chat" a bit.

All puppies will have at least their first shot and worming. Rear dew claws are removed from the puppies but the front dew claws are left on. Why? Because the front dew claws are used fo stability and help dogs to gain traction when they make quick turns. Since we often sell to agility and obedience homes, the front dew claws are left on.



We have no Eskie puppies available and do not anticipate any in the near future.

Born January 6, 2012: 1 bi-blue male, 2 b-blue females, 1 bi-black male! The sire is our wonderful BISS AKC GCh & UKC BIMBS GrCh Istari Midnight Sun. The dam is our bi black girl, Istari Tahiti. With 4 puppies we're bound to have a few to share. Check our Puppy Page for pictures and pedigree.







Companion puppies are $850 which includes the AKC registration fee. We give a $50 rebate upon proof of spay/neuter of companion puppies.

One of the requirements of an AKC Breeder of Merit is to ensure that ALL puppies from a litter are registered with AKC. Therefore, part of our purchase process is to fill out the registration paperwork and mail it to AKC. Please have your puppy's registered name selected when you come to pick him/her up. (All our puppies' registered names begin with our kennel name - "Istari.")

Show prospects are $850 now and another $600 (on co-ownership) when they take their first AKC/CKC point, finish a UKC championship or are bred... OR $1300 outright (no co-ownership) & no future payments.





"Sheltie Angel" is an exquisite gift for anyone who has ever loved a Sheltie. Sales of these Incolay ornaments support the American Shetland Sheepdog Association's Rescue. For more information on purchasing an ornament from the ASSA, please click on the picture below.
