At Herdabout Shelties our goal is to breed Shetland Sheepdogs who are structurally and mentally sound, with well balanced bodies and movement, that can perform in all venues (Agility Obedience, Herding, Tracking, Conformation) but who also can be just a sweet and loving family companion, or therapy dog.

At Herdabout Shelties we believe that health, structure and temperament are the most valued components in a breeding program.  Therefore we will not eliminate a perfectly excellent quality Sheltie from our breeding program simply because the dog may be considered by some to be "mismarked" in colour.  We are founders of a promotional group called SIT = "Shelties In True Colours" firmly believing that these colours should be allowed in the conformation show ring because they are in the genes.  This video shows some of the award winning Herdabout Shelties that are Shelties in True Colours : youtube video link.

Herdabout Shelties are regularly competing in Conformation, Agility, Rally-O and Obedience Trials.  Please look around our website and see what our dogs have accomplished with us, and with others who own a Shetland Sheepdog from Herdabout Shelties Reg'd.
