Shelties - Ottawa & Area

Been awhile since I last posted since we moved 4 years ago.  I no longer maintain our website.

I do however get regular requests for puppies, if not from folks wanting ones our old lines, then the names of kennels I know in my area.

My first suggested resource for Ontario in general is to go to the CSSA site https://www.canadianshelties.ca/ and contact the various directors for member referrals.

The local CKC breeders are

Laureate - Kim Aston 

Divine - Linda Labelle 

Kendale - Diane Biggar

Dury Voe - Judy Kelsey

Valley Gem - Bonnie Bird-Pappel

Velvetfog - Anne Brazeau

TLC - Tina King

Sharrow- Margaret Pratt (local resource for rescues)

All have websites, and are on Facebook either by name and/or kennel name.

A little update on me.  I’ve spent more time being able to work at agility with our ‘Ruffles’,  Shelamo Walk On Bi.  Covid has provided me with the time and ability to enjoy this outdoor sport with several classmates.  We’ve obtained 2 Q’s towards our starters jumpers. My first ever agility Q’s!

I was also able to teach Ruffles A bit of water safety, pool entry, and blowing bubbles while bobbing for treats thanks to Linda’s pool and the hot summer days  

I’ve helped breed and whelp two litters this spring, enjoyed outdoor socializing them, and doing puppy pics.

I’ve still been teaching dog obedience with the City of Ottawa however the fall course has now been cancelled due to moving back to a modified stage 2.  Here’s hoping we can reduce our covid numbers for a winter 2021 session. 

Stay safe.  Teach your dog something new that you can use in everyday life.

Ch Shelamo Rais'n The Bar

We finished our girl at just over a yr of age from our Am/Cdn Ch Reinnmaur's Firecracker ROMC x Shelamo Seriously Sinful litter

with Raisin down near Cornwall, Ontario

Shelamo Man on A Journey CGN, RN, RE, PCD left for great things in the spring with new owner Judy Flanigan and in less than 6 months put all those titles on him, with only 1 more to go for his RNA!  CD trials, and a few agility trials are planned for early this yr.

I hear his bouncy, fun attitude makes many ringside admirers laugh!

We continue to cherish the days we have with Shelamo's Party Pack ROMC

who will turn 16 this spring.

Our fall was a hard one to swallow
