Kell Shelties has been breeding and showing our beloved breed since 1974. In that time we have had the privilege of breeding and owning many AKC Champions and producing many performance titled Shelties.

Our commitment and perseverance stems from our love of the breed. We invite you to spend some time getting to know a few of our dogs and share in our vision.

About our program

06/01/2014

We have puppies available!

 

All of our breedings are carefully planned and are based on furthering our goal of producing healthy Shelties conforming as closely to the breed standard as possible. Our program is guided by three primary principles:

• Health
• Temperament
• Breed type

All companions are placed on a spay/neuter contract and on limited registration. A sample of our companion contract is available for download and viewing.

ASSA 2013 has come and gone.

While we were not able to attend in full force due to school and work obligations, we are proud to report that Ch. Okie's Kell Wild Wild West now has TWO daughters who have been WB and Best of Winners at ASSA Nationals (2010's Ch. Kell Personality, owned and loved by Susan Christie, and now 2013 Paray Luminous, owned by Brenda Christiansen).

We sent a couple of youngsters for their second trips to a dog show, with Whispering Kell Perfect Crime winning third in his class and Kell Whispering Sharp Shooter making a cut in his competitive class.

Our girls Ch. Whipsering It's My Party and Ch. Kell Nursery Rhyme both made cuts in Breed in their first ASSA appearance.
