This is a website for the dogs we have had the pleasure to own, to breed, and to love. Shetland Sheepdogs are something special! Our wonderful experiences with them are too precious to forget. As pets, performance dogs and show/breeding animals, our Shelties are and have always been happy, loving companions and lifelong members of the family.

We invite you to stay awhile and look around, browse the photos, see what's new. And, feel free to contact us. If you have any questions at all about the breed, training, health, etc., we are always happy to hear from fellow Sheltie enthusiasts, or those simply interested in this fascinating breed of dog.

Our Story
We got into Shelties in 2013 with our first dog, Brus. We were enchanted! Before long we found ourselves owners of an 8 week old puppy named Reggie (that adorable little guy at the top of the page in the snow!). We picked up a rescue, Indy. By now we were serious about breeding and acquired a female of outstanding structure to be the foundation of Pioneer Shelties, the beautiful Mariah. We bred sparingly and for the highest quality Shelties, with our primary goal being a balance of athletic structure, sheer beauty, and those outstanding temperament traits that make Shelties our favorite breed.
