Sheltie or shetland sheepdogs

[teeny]

does anyone know of any breeders or of a sheltie needing a new home please let me know. As a loving home awaits

Try the kennel club website, they show breeders who are trying to sell puppies, but they are hard to come by. I know it took me ages also you must be prepared to travel, there appears to be a number of breeders in south wales. Or try epupz they have some puppies for sale.

As always,

 

Be careful with epupz - the breeders on the kennel club website are accredited breeders whilst the breeders on epupz are not vetted.

Slightly off topic but, whats the difference between a KC accredited breeder and someone with just an affix?

[teeny]

I am not after a pup but would like an older dog if possible say one thats been brought on for show or one who hasn't made the grade!!!

A puppy would be nice but not essensials

Have you tried contacting the breed rescue?

[teeny]

i have rung loads of places up including sheltie rescue!!! lol

More and more people are now keeping their unsuccesful show dogs as pets so you may have trouble there

 

Sheltie rescue is probably the best bet even if you have to wait. Otherwise try looking up breeders on the KC website then looking at the ones wih websites, some offer older dogs for sale on their websites (or you could try ringing) as accredited breeders will take back the animals they bred to sell on if their owners can't keep them.

 

Bailey's mum - here's the webpage about the ins and outs of being an accredited breeder: http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/item/474

Thanks for that

No problem

 

Slightly off topic but that signature sounds rather rude!! Just out of interest, do you get many pms?
