Jessica grew up with a variety of pets. At the age of six she got her official indoctrination when she helped her mother deliver six beautiful Sheltie puppies. That was the beginning of fifteen years' worth of helping her parents successfully breed Shelties. In addition to many dogs, Jess has also owned and wonderfully cared for her horse and several cats. A lover of both animals and people, Jess is wise beyond her years and a caring, compassionate young lady.
