Sheldray Shetland Sheepdogs

Jacko arrived a few days ago, following a change in his family circumstances.  He was intially very  aggressive, and fearful, but within a few hours had began to settle down, even trying to boss my own shelties around!  Fortunately my 3 are very tolerant, and although there has been a bit of tension in the air on the odd occasion, the 4 have settled together, and Jacko knows his place in the pack and is behaving much better.

Check out my rescue and rehoming p...

Thursday 29th October will be a day i shall never forget.  I took Flowie and Rocky to my friends to be looked after while i moved house on the 30th.  Unfortunately within 3 hours of me leaving the dogs with Jackie, Rocky had slipped his collar and run off into very rural open countryside.  By the time i had driven to where he was last seen it was already dark, and after 3 hours of fruitless searching and calling, i made a very tough decision to return home, as i was  movin...

I have just had a 6 month old sable dog puppy come to me for rehoming.  Unfortunately his owner passed away and his family were unable to keep him.  He spent several days here with me and my shelties, and we have found him the most wonderful new home with a lovely retired couple.  Sam now has a lovely big garden to romp around in, and a cosy basket next to his new mums bed to sleep in.  See Sams pictures in the photo gallery!!!

Just had a text from Eleanor, Smokie (Rockys full brother) has just had his third win at Grade 6, and is now Grade 7!!

Well done Eleanor and Smokie, you are fabulous team, and we are very very proud of you both. 

What a hot and sticky weekend this was!!!

Leo had already qualified for the Medium Burgess Team Final on Saturday 10 July, with our team mates Peter Harrison Jones and Foxy, Gwen Cage and Louie and Cerri (sorry Cerri i forgot your surname) and Neela.  It was terribly hot that evening, and despite the crowd cheering us all on, and me begging Leo to run faster, we scraped 3rd place in the final.  No shame there at all, but Leo was so hot, if he could ha...

We had a long drive down from Suffolk to Blewbury for the Sheltie Agility Show.  I dont normally go this far afield for Agility shows but this is special as it is only Shelties, and i like to support the Working Section by entering!

This was Leo and Rockys first show this season, and although we didnt set the world on fire, both boys did their best.   To my utter delight, Rocky achieved his first ever CLEAR ROUND in the  G1-7 Helter Skelter and came...

Crikey how time flies, and i havnt updated the site for months!

News of Flowies last litter still comes in occasionally, they are all doing very well, and have settled in their new homes and are all much loved. 

Rockys training continues to go well, although he isnt so great at weaving still, he just gets so excited he cant contain himself!  Leo is just Leo, and sadly will never be fast or furious and im now beginning to think if its time to pu...

Its been a quiet couple of months since the puppies went to their new homes.  Sox, Blaze, Mia, Bengi and Misty have all settled down well at their new homes and im getting regular photos and updates from them all, which i appreciate very much.

Rockys agility training is going well, having a keen fast dog makes such a difference! Although i have enjoyed running Leo in competition, Rocky has brought a whole new level of enjoyment to my hobby, and im very much looking for...

Superstar Smokie (Sheldray Smoke on the Water) with his haul of trohpies and rosettes all won since August 2009 - Less than 2 months!

Our house has been very quiet for the last few days, as the last 2 puppies have now gone to their new homes.  Sox has gone to a home where hopefully he will be learning and eventually competing at Agility, and Blaze has gone to be  a much loved companion to a semi retired man.  Both have gone to local homes so hopefully i will get to see them both occasionally.
