SEAFREY Shetland Sheepdog

At Seafrey Shelties our dogs are much loved members of our family. We enjoy spending time with them walking, training (obedience, rally, agility, nose work, conformation), and just hanging out. We don't plan to breed often, but when we do breed we invest a lot of time and effort into the planning of the litter and ensuring our puppies are reared with evidence-based protocols and provided with appropriate early socialization opportunities to set them up for a life where they can realize their full potential. Our goal is to produce dogs that encapsulate everything we desire in a sheltie: temperament - dogs who are great companions, willing to work but also able to relax good health - informed by results of genetic testing, hip scores, and knowledge of the breed (kindly shared by our breed mentors) soundness - balanced, well constructed dogs built to enjoy sporting pursuits structure - elegant and graceful, with ease of movement clever - easily trained, able to problem solve confident - eager and willing to meet new people and try new things resilient - able to bounce back from setbacks with ease beauty - that soft melting expression typical of the UK type loyalty - dogs devoted to their owners longevity - we want our beloved companions to share our life as long as possible
