Over the last 45 years while raising our family and now into retirement my wife and I have raised 4 Shelties including raising a litter of 5 Sheltie puppies and 3 Scotties.

We really appreciated the updates and pictures. It is not easy for us to find good people fir our dog as she is really shy. But we had right away a good feeling that they are loving and patience enough. Thank you!
