Shelgrande Shetland Sheepdogs, owned by Corinne and Rex Rainsforth,

is a small

show / breeding

kennel located in the heart of the Okanagan,

overlooking the

Coldstream Valley. We began showing

our dogs in

Obedience back in 1974.

Several years later we began to breed them. Until January, 2007,

were located in

Calgary,

Alberta.

strive to breed beautiful, healthy, intelligent dogs with fabulous temperaments

who are

structurally and

mentally sound. Over the years, we have held steadfast

to the belief

that

Shelties should never be timid or high

strung. We will tolerate a

very slight "reservedness

towards strangers" but never a temperament that hides

when someone comes to the

door!

We only breed two or three litters per year as we believe that

Quality is far more important than Quantity. Any puppies that we do not keep

or do not go to approved show homes are sold on Spay/Neuter agreements

as Companion Dogs.

Over the years we have finished Canadian Championships on

about 60 dogs and American Championships on about 14. We

currently share our home with several Shelties, one Havanese and a wonderful

Golden Retreiver.
