Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Crider’s Critters located in Marlow, OK. I offer wonderful family pets with great temperaments raised on the family farm. My goal is to raise the perfect family pets that are loyal, outgoing, happy-go-lucky, loving dogs. My breeding dogs are tested for temperament and genetic health. I am a dog trainer, so my puppies will have a great foundation to build on when they go to their new homes.

Shelby’s experience

  • About Shelby

    I am an ABC certified dog trainer and AKC Evaluator. I do group classes, private at-home training, board and train, and specialize in socialization. I also work with wild mustangs and show them in Ranch Horse Versatility as well as practice Equine Dentistry. I love animals and I live my life for them and their well-being. I love helping to fill the gap of human to animal communication.

  • What makes Shelby’s program special

    My breeding program is special because of my commitment and determination to produce wonderful, well-rounded family pets. I live on a 20-acre farm. My puppies go home with a good foundation for their new families to build on. I expose them to noises, animals, adults, and children. My goal is to set my puppies and their families up for success.

More about Shelby

  • Why Shelby started breeding

    I got into breeding after helping my friend and employer with her breeding dogs. I learned a lot from her and saw a need for family-friendly pets when my sister's daughter was bit in the face by a dog. One of my dogs helped heal the family of their fear of dogs. Now I breed to improve the family pet and help people find the perfect dog for them.
