In July of 1985, we acquired our first Sheltie as a companion puppy from a local breeder. Soon after, we got interested in showing and obedience and decided to acquire a show dog and a play pal for our first dog from Sanchar, now known as Selrach Shelties. This was the beginning of a life long friendship which resulted in the co-ownership of many special Shelties.

We are a small family based kennel located in Northwestern Ontario. Our Shelties are companions first and show dogs or performance dogs second. Mother and daughter, Danielle and Ashley, train, groom and show while hubby, Gary, pitches in by doing the crucial task of cleaning up the yard. He also looks after our mini zoo, which include Shelties, Ragdolls, Bunnies and Fish, when Danielle and Ashley are away.

Over the last 20 years, we have participated in both conformation shows and obedience trials. For a while, we limited our showing and obedience activities due to home and work demands while Ashley was growing up. However, we now have rekindled our love of showing in conformation and have begun breeding with the advice and support of Selrach Shelties.

Our dogs are raised in the family home with two Ragdoll cats and a couple of Mini-Lop rabbits. To further socialize our puppies, they enjoy visits at Selrach Shelties as well as at Grandma Logan's house (Sarilyn Shelties). Our goal is to raise healthy Shelties with excellent temperaments, correct structure and a sweet look that melts your heart.
