About Gary Sheltie Puppies
A Dedicated Sheltie Puppy Breeder and Seller
We are a well-respected Sheltie puppy breeder and seller, known for unwavering commitment to producing healthy, well-tempered, and beautiful Shetland Sheepdog puppies. With years of experience in breeding, We have earned a reputation as a responsible, ethical breeder who deeply values the health, well-being, and lifelong happiness of the dogs we places with families. Our passion for Shelties goes beyond just breeding; we have a true love for the breed and is dedicated to ensuring that every puppy we sells finds a loving and appropriate home.
A Passion for the Shetland Sheepdog
Our journey into the world of Sheltie breeding began with our own personal love for the breed. Having been captivated by the Sheltie’s intelligent, affectionate nature and stunning appearance, we decided to dedicate our life to working with the breed. Over time, we became deeply knowledgeable about the Shetland Sheepdog’s physical characteristics, temperament, and potential health issues. Our goal was simple yet profound: to produce Sheltie puppies that excel in both physical health and temperament, ensuring they would be perfect companions for families and individuals alike.
Ethical Breeding Practices
One of the hallmarks of our breeding program is our focus on ethical practices. We carefully selects breeding pairs based on a combination of factors, including health, temperament, conformation to breed standards, and genetic diversity. Gary places a high priority on the health of both the parents and the puppies. Before any breeding takes place, we conducts thorough health checks on the adult Shelties, including screenings for common genetic conditions such as hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), and hypothyroidism—conditions that are known to affect Shelties.
Our breeding practices are guided by a deep respect for the Sheltie breed and a commitment to maintaining the integrity of the breed. We works with a network of trusted veterinarians to ensure that all of our dogs are up to date on vaccinations, deworming, and other preventative health care. Our dedication to maintaining a healthy breeding program means that buyers can be confident in the health and well-being of the puppies they adopt.
Early Socialization and Training
A key part of our success as a Sheltie breeder is our focus on early socialization and foundational training. From the moment the puppies are born, We ensures they are raised in a family-oriented environment where they are exposed to various sounds, people, and other pets. Socialization is essential for Shelties, as they are known for their reserved nature around strangers. By exposing the puppies to new experiences, we helps them develop the confidence they need to adapt to their new homes and families.
In addition to socialization, Thomas begins the process of house training and basic obedience with his puppies. This early training helps set them up for success when they leave for their new homes. Our puppies learn basic commands like “sit,” “come,” and “stay,” as well as crate training, which can help with the transition to their new family’s lifestyle.
A Personal Approach to Puppy Placement
One of the aspects that sets us apart from other Sheltie breeders is our personalized approach to puppy placement. We understands that adopting a puppy is a long-term commitment and takes the time to match each puppy with the right family. We asks potential buyers questions about their living environment, activity level, and previous experience with dogs to ensure that they are prepared for the responsibilities of owning a Sheltie.
We work closely with families to ensure that they understand the needs of the breed and are ready for the active, intelligent nature of Shelties. We are always available for follow-up support after the puppies go to their new homes, offering advice on training, nutrition, and care. For us, the relationship doesn’t end when the puppy leaves; we genuinely cares about the future well-being of the dogs we raises.
