Photo by Chris Lynch Welcome to the Sheltie Spa - A world where the dogs are our life! Many would say we are crazy to allow 16 dogs to sleep in the house with us every night, or to invest what we have in facilities for their safe care. Sheltie Spa is a world where our babies are safe and want for nothing. They give us so much love day in and day out that they deserve the best we can give them. We have some very different philosophies from the average breeder, which you will see as you tour these pages.

Our goal with this site is to create a 'feeling' of what we are all about and stay away from hype as much as possible. The site is ambitious as breeder pages go. We think there is something here for almost everyone. We hope the musical theme is effective and the animation fun. For the romantics in our midst many of these pages should bring a tear to your eye and a lump to your throat. Our intention is to provide honest information to those who seek it, so don't hesitate to contact us by E-mail.

The plan is to update pages involving news, editorial, seasonal themes, poems, puppies, and show wins on a quarterly basis. So, check back now and then. Who knows what neat little animation might pop up.

Special thanks to my brother David Rueckert for this custom made-to-order animation.

Most Heart O'Gold pages contain background music!
They will play automatically if your browser and computer support the mid (.mid) format.

SITE NOTE - If music is interrupted when switching pictures or viewing pedigrees, this can be resolved by downloading 'Crescendo 5.1' shareware (free) from www.liveupdate.com/dl2.html - Make sure Crescendo is set to 'Midi Mapper' and this site will play continuously as it was designed to do.

There have been Sheltie lovers here since November 30, 1999.
