Sheltie Breeder Links
» Other Neat Links »
[Follow this link to other useful sites]
In order to make our breeder links more valuable, over 400 Sheltie breeder sites were reviewed. This was a big task that consumed a lot of time. Listed below are the top 10% of these sites. Additionally, the sites that ranked in the top 5% were issued our award and are noted as such when preceded by the 'Gold' heart. The problem with most web awards is that some sites never update, while others that were not much to start with get upgraded to quite nice sites over time. Therefore, our site awards are dated and expire one year after they are issued. We hope this is an incentive for those with awards to stay updated and those that came close to strive for a little more. Each year in December we will issue our new awards. Anyone with a new or updated site should contact us to review their site for possible inclusion in next years' awards.
Although we have made an effort to screen the problem sites from our list, we do not know many of the breeders listed. Therefore, this is not an endorsement of any breeder, program, or dog. Prospective buyers should carefully screen any breeder to their satisfaction prior to dealing with that breeder.
