We are located in Viola, Illinois.  
My whole life I have always loved animals, especially  horses and dogs. As a child I had the
privilege of living on a farm and had everything that was animal related  that I was allowed to
have, even birds!  In the 1980's, I met  Pepper Power in Wyoming.  I was introduced to my first
real show dogs and I, of course, became hooked!  I purchased a CH. Sunnybrook Heritage Spirit
daughter from  Claywood Kennels.  In doing so,  I found a wonderful mentor in Margaret Wade of
Wadegate Shelties.  What a patient and wonderful woman she is.  She gave me so much
knowledge and treasured views of the breed.  I went to as many AKC dog shows that I could and
met Dr. Harler (Jo Lyn) and I had the privilege of being able to share some of his knowledge.   
Marriage, SEVERAL moves to different states, a divorce and raising 3 sons of my own soon put
me on a different track than shelties.  

In 2007, I married a great guy and he shares my love for this breed and, in fact, ALL animals and
relocated to to Middle Tennessee and through friendships there have wonderful, healthy dogs.

I have found  that one of the  greatest rewards in raising these wonderful dogs is the satisfaction
of knowing that you have placed a puppy where they will be loved.  Every year I get calls of
thanks from owners that thank me over and over for their sheltie that continues to make their life
a joy.     One of them has a beautiful sable girl, Cheyenne. You will find her on my Performance
page, she was 9 years young in 2009. They enjoy taking her to local dog shows and she is so
beautiful,  many ask them if she is entered in the show!  They take a large amount of pleasure in
this. You will also find some of my dogs on the past champion pages.
