Spring Valley Shelties

Welcome to Spring Valley Shelties. I raise beautiful happy, healthy AKC registered puppies and dogs. They are well socialized with great temperaments and easy to live with. Any one of my puppies would bring a life time of love and joy to you and your family. For more information please contact me or visit my website. www.springvalleyshelties.com.

Growing up my family always had a sheltie on the farm. Years later after I got married and moved away from home I was given a beautiful sable and white female and was bitten by the sheltie bug again. She was spayed and she was so nice I had a hard time finding a good breeder. I decided I would be that good breeder. I finally find a sable and white male and was lucky enough to find a female with similar pedigrees. I still have the grand daughter of Candy my original female.

I live 60 miles west of Des Moines on 3 acres. My dogs are subjected to all kinds of sounds and a variety of animals. Puppies are well socialized with not only people but the older dogs. They get to go for car rides on a regular bases. I offer a 72 hour health guarantee and 2 years on genetics. Puppies are sold on limited registration with a spay/neuter contract. I do occasionally get show/breeding prospects available also. Puppies are current on shots and worming and dew claws have been removed. I also offer a lifetime of support and you can visit me anytime. My door I always open.

I ship puppies at buyers expense within the continental US, Alaska and Canada.

The temperament of the sheltie is what has endeared him to so many owners. They are usually loyal and affectionate with their owners. Shelties are known to be easy to train, and this is often due to their desire and willingness to please. Shelties almost seem to train themselves at times. They are ever willing to do your every wish and ecstatic at the praise they receive. Shelties are relatively sensitive, and do not need a hard hand when training. They are not soft, though, and will stand up to criticism. A sheltie with the classic temperament is a bit standoffish with strangers, but not unfriendly. There is a much wider range in temperament in modern shelties than there used to be, and personalities will range from quiet, stay-at-home dogs, to active extroverts. Unfortunately, due to their popularity, more shelties are being bred in puppy mills and by inexperienced, unknowledgeable breeders. These dogs often have very poor temperaments, with characteristics such as fear-biting, excessive shyness, nervousness, or extreme hyperness. Do your sheltie a favor, and have him or her altered.
