I'm the breeder behind Jensen Farms Shelties located in Fontanelle, IA. We offer pups with great personalities as well as smarts, train-ability, and drive to go many directions. Our pups will be your best friend and create memories that last. We work hard to raise pups that are incredibly social. Our sires/dams are health tested to make sure your pup will live a long healthy life. Pups get shots/deworming done before going home. They also come with papers and a guarantee.
About Tiffany
I grew up on a farm in Southwest Iowa. We always had dogs around. I got a sheltie when I started training dogs for 4H. My dog Sky and I went on to show in many 4-H shows at local/state levels. Then we started showing AKC/UKC in rally/obedience. Sky was pretty well known. I’m not sure if people recognized me, but they seemed to know who Sky was and everyone really loved her and watching her work.
What makes Tiffany’s program special
My bloodlines today go back to my first dog Sky. I work hard to raise, especially social dogs as well as dogs that are highly trainable. I still do some showing when I can with my adult dogs. All of these guys are so special to me and not just here to raise puppies. They were chosen to raise puppies for a special reason. Each one of them is special in their own way that adds to our program.

Why Tiffany started breeding
My mom has actually raised German shepherds, for around 40 years now, so I have lots of experience being around dogs/puppies and their health/care needs. When I realized how special Sky was, I knew that I wanted more shelties in my life and I especially wanted to carry on her bloodlines. That was more than enough to get me started in raising shelties and continuing my love for the breed.

Chief is extremely quick witted and active. He loves to ride in the ranger, work cattle, bark and run. He picks up on things he is taught very easily, sometimes even after just showing him once. He loves the family but can be leery of strangers approaching our home. He does not have this problem away from our home. We are working on earning our obedience titles.
