If you are interested in a puppy from us now, please note the following:

• We breed very active, moderate to high-drive Shelties primarily for dog sport competitor homes. It is very rare that we have pet puppies available. These puppies are bright, busy, curious enrichment seekers that need to be kept busy. A neighborhood walk or hanging in your backyard is not sufficient. If that’s what you’re looking for, there are PLENTY of folks breeding low-key dogs. Contact CSSC’s Breeder Referral member to find one.
• If you are a dog sport competitor, we’d absolutely love to hear from you. Please fill out an application!
• If you are a pet home, please be very specific about your previous dog training experience, as well as how much time and effort you expect to put into training your next puppy. Who/what/where/when/how.
• We do not ship. You can drive to Rhode Island to meet us or we can arrange to meet you (not a puppy nanny) in-person at Logan Airport (BOS) or T.F. Green Airport (PVD). Additional travel fees apply for airport pickups.

If you are interested in a puppy from us in the future, please note the following:

• We breed 0-1 litters a year and the majority of our puppies go to dog sport competitors. If you are not an active dog sport competitor, it’s highly unlikely we will have a pet puppy for you. (We’ve had 2 pet puppies, total, across our last 5 litters.)
• Our pet puppies are ONLY placed in New England.
• We don’t start a wait list until one of our girls is confirmed to be pregnant, so please don’t reach out before then. Follow us on Facebook and email us when we announce a litter.
• If you want a puppy at a very specific time of year like spring break, summer vacation, Memorial Day, etc: Mother Nature will scoff at you and the puppies will certainly come a week or three earlier or later than what fits into your schedule.
