Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Nokomis Shelties located in Texas. Nokomis is home to happy, health tested dogs that live in the house and are part of the family. We produce quality pups with the Sheltie standard in mind and with love! As an AKC Breeder Of Merit and AKC Breeder of Heart, I offer loved puppies with a focus on health and temperament and do genetic testing. I am familiar with the pedigrees behind my dogs.

Cathy’s experience

  • About Cathy

    I am very selective about where my puppies go and want to ensure I am placing puppies into the best homes possible. I am passionate about my work and look forward to connecting with you!

  • What makes Cathy’s program special

    My program is unique because of the love, time, and hard work that I dedicate towards my dogs. I truly love this breed and enjoy sharing that love with others. Each pup is cherished from the moment of birth and given the best start I can possibly provide. I am passionate about placing puppies into homes that will adore them just as much as I do!

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

I do my best to begin training my puppies to prepare them for success with their new homes. They get exposed to a lot of noises such as the vacuum, hair dryer, country noises, and rock and roll music. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Litter Training, Crate Training, Various People, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Early Neurological Stimulation, and Puppy Culture.

Puppy health practices

Puppies are vaccinated and dewormed prior to going to their forever homes. My parent dogs have also been health tested and are clear from genetic diseases and defects.

Extras

Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Nokomis Shelties hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.

Bringing your puppy home

Cathy offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.

Pick up your puppy in Texas or nearby

If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.

“Please contact me to discuss picking up your new family member and we will work something out that works for the both of us.”

Get your puppy dropped off to you

Work with a trusted flight nanny or transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.
