Health & Genetic Excellence
We prioritize the long-term well-being of every Shetland Sheepdog puppy. Our breeding program focuses on rigorous health screenings to ensure your new companion starts life with the best possible foundation.
Genetic Testing
We perform DNA screening to identify potential hereditary conditions. This proactive approach helps us prevent breed-specific health issues before they even begin.
OFA Certification
Our adult dogs undergo Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) evaluations for hips, elbows, and hearts, ensuring only the healthiest parents contribute to our litters.
Routine Screenings
Continuous veterinary check-ups keep our breeding dogs in peak condition, guaranteeing that your Sheltie puppy is born from a vibrant and monitored family line.
Raised with Children & Farm Life
Our Sheltie puppies are born and raised in the heart of our home, ensuring they are well-acquainted with the sounds and energy of a busy household. From their very first weeks, they are gently handled by our children, fostering a natural bond and a calm, trusting temperament with little ones.
Life on the Longhorn farm provides unique socialization opportunities. Puppies are exposed to various farm sights and sounds, helping them develop into confident companions who aren't easily startled. They enjoy safe outdoor exploration, learning to navigate different surfaces and environments under our watchful eyes.
Early Training Routine
Crate Training
We introduce puppies to crates early on, creating a safe, positive space. This foundation helps ease the transition to your home and aids in peaceful nights.
Dog Door Intro
Our puppies quickly learn to use dog doors, gaining confidence and early housebreaking skills by understanding the concept of going outside to do their business.
Basic Manners
Socialization starts here. We practice gentle handling, basic manners, and introduce various sights and sounds to ensure a well-adjusted, confident adult dog.
Grooming Requirements
Shetland Sheepdogs have a beautiful double coat that requires regular care to keep them healthy and looking their best. In Texas, where the weather can be hot and humid, weekly brushing is recommended to prevent mats, reduce shedding, and help air circulate through the coat. During seasonal coat blows, more frequent brushing may be needed. Routine nail trims, ear cleaning, dental care, and an occasional bath will keep your Sheltie comfortable and thriving. While their coat should never be shaved except for medical reasons, consistent grooming makes maintenance easy and helps your Sheltie stay cool and healthy year-round.
