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.
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!

Cathy’s certifications & recognitions
AKC Breeder with H.E.A.R.T., AKC Breeder of Merit
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.
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.
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.
Cathy offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
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.”
Work with a trusted flight nanny or transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.

About Caroline
Becca is a tiny little girl. she's sweet. she's smart. she's crate trained. she's house trained. she knows the comand "stay". she eats in her crate. she likes the house she runs & plays with other dogs. she's not afraid of dogs. she used to be really timid until I put her with a friend of mine who had Dobermans and yes, they were in their pens, but she fell in love with the biggest one and lost her fear. She is to small for conformation, but walks the dog walk, 6' slide in both directions, but it only has 2 step slant. Lets you KNOW when it's time to go out. All puppy shots are done & she weighed 10 lbs when she got rabies. She is microchipped!
