Woodruff Shelties
Like the herb, Sweet Woodruff, that has been used for generations to sweeten May wine, Shelties add a special essence to the lives of their owners. We invite you to sample our particular flavor of Shelties. They have always exceeded our expectations, and we trust they will exceed yours as well.
News for Fall 2024
Sept 2024: Dolce finished her CH with a 3 pt major under Judge Bonnie Money, presented beautifully by Kara Janiszak!
July 2024: We are planning a litter for fall/winter 2024! If you’d like to be considered for this, or a future litter, please carefully read all the information on the Puppies page.
I'm thrilled to announce that starting in 2019, my litters have been raised using the Puppy Culture program! It has had such a positive impact on dogs and their breeders, owners, competitors, and the entire dog culture, that it is sweeping across many nations.
In a nutshell, Puppy Culture has designed a full spectrum of early socialization exercises for breeders to use with litters. These efforts are targeted at mental development, emotional intelligence and stability, physical soundness, and greater resilience against disease, stress and fear.
In addition to those developmental advantages, Puppy Culture starts the process of teaching several basic obedience and helpful household skills in preparation for going to their new homes.
By the time the puppies go home, they are quite amazing!
This program is for pet owners too! My wish is for all my puppies to live with people who will learn about PC.
The good news is that your part is much easier than the breeder’s, and a few simple games and habits will keep things going.

Me and Summer, 2012
Summer, from my first litter, was my very special buddy and heart dog. She was laid to rest in September 2019, and always looked and moved younger than her years. She made my world brighter, and her legacy lives on in 3 generations of progeny!
