Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Shalamar Shelties located in Nampa, ID. I have a standard of breeding quality Shetland Sheepdogs. My dogs are fully health tested CHIC dogs and many become Grand Champions. I take a lot of pride in the dogs that I produce. I don't cut corners and am always working towards improving my program and the betterment of the breed.

Susan’s experience

    ​I've been breeding and showing shelties for over 52 years now. I love this breed, and the countless dogs I've had over the years have given me more love and devotion than I could ever imagine.

  • What makes Susan’s program special

    Experts in the breed mentored me and taught me type, head detail and how to breed the right dogs to establish my family of dogs and keep the look that I love consistently.

  • 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.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Dentition

    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.

  • OFA/CHIC DNA Repository, Dermatomyositis, von Willebrand Disease III (vWD III), Shetland Sheepdog Type, Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1)

    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).
