The Story of Dr. Dorman’s Shelties
Dedicated to preserving the beauty, intelligence, and gentle nature of the Shetland Sheepdog through ethical, home-raised breeding standards.
Our Story
The Heart Behind Our Home
At Dr. Dorman’s Sheltie Pet Home, our journey began with a simple, profound love for the Shetland Sheepdog. Known for their striking beauty, intense loyalty, and remarkable intelligence, Shelties are far more than just a breed to us—they are cherished family members. What started as a passion for these elegant companions has blossomed into a dedicated, small-scale breeding program focused on preserving the very best attributes of the Shetland Sheepdog. We operate strictly as a private home, not a commercial kennel. Every one of our adult dogs lives directly in our home, sleeping at our feet, running in our yard, and receiving individualized love and attention every single day. We believe that a dog's environment deeply shapes their temperament, which is why our breeding program is built entirely around a home-centric, family-integrated lifestyle.
Our Standards
We raise our puppies underfoot with a focus on structural health, robust socialization, and a lifetime of support.
Genetic Health
Tested Bloodlines
All parent dogs undergo rigorous genetic health evaluations to screen for breed-specific conditions, ensuring strong future generations.
Early Socialization
Home Raised
Our puppies are born and raised right in our living room, getting daily exposure to household sounds, children, and plenty of holding.
Lifetime support
Always Here for you
Our relationship doesn’t end when you take your companion home. We provide a lifetime of guidance, tips, and breeder support.
