All puppies will be registered with the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC)

All pet/companion Shelties will be sold on a CKC non breeding contract (spay/neuter).

If you would like to initiate your interest by email please provide us some information, such as;

  • a little about yourself,
  • where you live, your family (children + ages - if applicable); your home (house w/ fenced yard, apartment)
  • what you are looking for (male/female, adult, young adult or puppy),
  • whether or not you have owned a dog/sheltie before, and if you have any pets at the moment.

Prior to leaving our home, puppies will be:

  • vet-checked
  • have their first shots
  • dewormed
  • microchipped (CKC approved)

You will also receive:

  • 2 year genetic health and temperment written guarantee
  • 4 generation pedigree
  • Ruffleith information package (crate training, basic obedience tips, health, food//etc)
  • feeding instructions
  • ProPlan Puppy Kit

The Kit as of Nov 2011 contains:

  • Filing envelope
  • Free bag voucher
  • ID tag to engrave puppys name and phone number
  • Care guide and Information
  • Beautiful tote bad
  • $5.00 Coupon for a bag of Puppy Food
  • 2 samples of puppy food

We offer specific gooming tools (while supplies Last - look below for what we have left) that you will require for your sheltie from puppy stage to times of blowing their coat and to old age.

This can save you time and shipping costs considering most of the tools are available at online shops...
and NOT in Pet Stores AND at a cheaper price.

Grooming tools
Having the correct tools will make your Shelties coat beautiful and keep your
Sheltie's skin and healthy. There is a reason why you fell in love with this breed - groom it!

Separate Purchases we have on hand - this includes taxes I have incurred.

  • Molting Comb: $8.35 :: Molting Rake (SOLD OUT) :: Pin Brush: $10.02 :: Small Slicker: S13.50 :: Large Slicer: $15.30

NOTE: A sheltie will blow his first coat at about a year of age and then twice a year after that. He/she will require lots of brushing and pulling out of the undercoat. The Rake AND the Molting Comb are the best tools to do this with.

 A small slicker brush is a great purchase as it will brush the puppy with no problem. As it grows, it is also great for the face, back of ears, legs, hocks and tail. A larger slicker brush is great for the adult sheltie for line brushing of his/her body.
The pin brush is used for quick brushing (top coat) and helping out with the brushing of the ruff. Grooming sessions and Ear training (glueing) are
complimentary when you get a puppy/dog from us..

We want to ensure that we are placing our puppies in the best possible home, so we will ask many questions to determine whether a sheltie or more particular the puppy will match you and your family and lifestyle and in turn we want you to ask us questions.

Preference will be given to those who come for a home visit for a "get to know" session
"meet and greet" with Ruffleith.
~~ Visits by appointment only.

~~ We reserve the right to refuse a sale ~~

Before purchasing any puppy, please take into consideration your current and future situations. They are a lifetime commitment...
most shelties will live between 10 and 15 years... some longer. Don't buy the dog as a surprise gift!

Do not bring home a puppy unless:

  • You have a fenced yard or a secure area - NOT "Invisible" or underground fencing! This is not considered to be a viable alternative. It does not keep out other animals and traps your dog, should another dog enter your yard.
  • The dog will be allowed to live in the house.
  • You have "dog-proofed" your home. This means getting down at the dog's level and making sure that breakable items, poisonous plants and substances, and hazards for a curious and chewing puppy (i.e. electrical cords, trash cans) are out of reach.
  • You have purchased a dog crate. - A crate makes house training easier and is a "safe place" to relax.

We would be happy to place your name on a waiting list should a pet companion come available in upcoming litters.

If at the time you are looking and we have no puppies available or if you live far from us, we would be more then happy to assist you in finding another reputable breeder in your area or you can visit our Canadian Sheltie Breeder's Site. All the breeders are registered with CKC and a part of the Canadian Shetland Sheepdog Association.

We will evaluate the puppies by 8-9 weeks of age.
