Why Sets Us Apart
Genetic Health Screening
At Cuddly Canine Companions, we prioritize the health of our Sheltie puppies by conducting thorough genetic screenings on all parent dogs. We utilize advanced genetic testing and X-rays to ensure they are free from hereditary health issues. We also obtain health clearances from reputable organizations to confirm their well-being.
Thoughtful Breeding Practices
Our breeding choices are made with great care. We select our breeding pairs based on their health, temperament, and adherence to Sheltie breed standards. We do not breed dogs that display known genetic defects or undesirable traits, ensuring our puppies have the best possible start in life.

Selecting Our Breeding Dogs

We aim for dogs that exhibit the friendly, intelligent, and alert characteristics typical of Shelties, ensuring our puppies will be well-adjusted companions.

Finding The Best Homes
As a dedicated Sheltie breeder, I take several vital steps to ensure that my puppies find loving and suitable homes:
Comprehensive Owner Screening
I implement a thorough application process for prospective Sheltie owners. This allows me to understand their lifestyle, dog ownership experience, and ability to provide the right environment for one of my puppies.
In-Person Meetings and Home Assessments
I prioritize meeting potential owners face-to-face and conducting home visits to assess their living conditions. This firsthand evaluation helps me determine if their home and yard are safe and suitable for a Sheltie.
Thoughtful Puppy Matching
After screening applicants, I carefully match each puppy with the owner who best aligns with their needs and lifestyle. This thoughtful approach ensures that the puppy will thrive in its new environment.
Ongoing Education and Support
I believe in building lasting relationships with new owners. I provide comprehensive guidance on Sheltie care, training, and socialization, and I remain available for advice and support even after the puppy has been placed in its new home.
Spay/Neuter Agreements
To prevent unplanned breeding, I require all puppy buyers to spay or neuter their Shelties at the appropriate age, unless they are specifically approved for a show or breeding home.
Commitment to Rehoming
If, for any reason, a new owner can no longer care for one of my puppies, I am always willing to take the dog back—no questions asked. The well-being of my puppies is my highest priority.
By following these careful protocols, I strive to ensure that my Sheltie puppies are placed in responsible, loving homes where they will receive the care and attention they deserve throughout their lives.
