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.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Good level

Nokomis Shelties reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Shetland Sheepdogs.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Legg-Calve-Perthes (OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), Animal Genetics Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
