Amberlyn Shelties was established in 1985 when we purchased our first
sheltie whom we named Kricket (later to become Ch. Marni-Maureen's Kimmy
Kricket, CD) She showed us the true beauty and intelligence of the breed by
her many silly antics to make us laugh to her loyalty throughout her life. We
were introduced to the obedience ring, conformation ring and the many, many
friends we have accumulated over the years.
We do selective breedings a couple of times a year with the goal in mind to
produce healthy, happy dogs who not only conform to the standard but would
make the best possible companions as a family member.
We test our breeding dogs for the diseases that can be tested for such as
clearance on eyes, vWd, thyroid including TgAA as well as hip certification.
All puppies that are sold as a companion are sold on a non-breeding contract
and proof of this being done is required by us.
Puppies are raised in our kitchen and,when old enough to run around, are
given the freedom to do so in our living room under supervision. Only when
they have had their first set of boosters do we take them outside and
introduce them to the "bigger" world.
We have shown and finished over 40 home-bred champions. We have put
titles in obedience on some and herding titles on some and have enjoyed every
minute of it. The sheltie is a very versatile little dog that wins hearts of
many.
Now sit back, grab a coffee and take a peek at our dogs.
