About Us
A tradition of quality since the mid-1980s.
Our Story
Like you, we have a deep love for all animals, and they are truly part of our family. Shetland Sheepdogs are amazing companions and belong to one of America's favorite breeds.
How it Started
As a child, I was obsessed with Collies. I watched every episode I could of Lassie, collected Collie figurines, and read all the books about Collies at the local library. I dreamed of one day having one of my own.
Later, as an adult, I discovered Shetland Sheepdogs. I was amazed at the resemblance to a Collie, but with the smaller size and more chiseled, exquisite looking head. I knew I had to have a Sheltie.
Around the mid 1980s, I decided I wanted to breed, raise and show the highest quality possible AKC Shelties. Being the high achiever I am, I set out to learn all I could about the breed, determined to have the best Shelties possible.
Mentorship & Knowledge
In my quest, I found mentors who were icons in the breed. Don Combee, Nick Joines, Louella Thomsen, and Betty Jo McKinney took the time to teach me what I needed to know. I was given the Sheltie Bible and Sheltie Talk, provided the best possible foundation stock, and taught how to show and groom AKC Championship Shelties.
Our Philosophy
Something ROYAL Shelties was born to continue the tradition of providing the best quality companion, performance, and conformation to the AKC Standard of Perfection.
Our Shelties guarantee to be "the perfect family dogs" for their gentle, intelligent, and loyal nature. Every puppy undergoes comprehensive health testing (OFA) and receives the finest care from birth to placement.
Health & Genetics
We are committed to responsible breeding. Our program includes rigorous testing for Hip Dysplasia, Elbow Dysplasia, Eye Certification (CAER), and Cardiac Evaluation to ensure we are passing down the best possible genetics to your future family member.
Our Horses
I've raised and shown horses all my life. I had full size horses until health reasons forced me to stop riding, and look at Miniatures, which have been, and continue to be one of the joys of my life. We occasionally have foals available alongside our puppies.
Passionate Breeding
We pour our hearts into every aspect of breeding, ensuring the health and happiness of our animals.
Champion Bloodlines
Our breeding programs feature champion bloodlines with proven genetics and outstanding temperaments.
Family-Focused
We carefully match each puppy and foal with loving families who will cherish them for life.
Years of Experience
Decades of dedication have refined our expertise in breeding exceptional Shelties and miniature horses.
