much as humanly possible the most confident, relaxed sheltie possible that will play and develop deep human/dog bonds. We hope our babies will enter their life and be whatever their people want them to be. We start not just with show quality parents, but those that possess awesome temperaments as well. Puppies are loved, massaged, nuzzled extensively every day since birth. Positive, gentle training methods are utilized to create the ultimate human/dog bonding. In the end, no matter what the sheltie does in life, he/she is first a household pet. So, our program is centered around these beliefs. Each potential home is analyzed to ensure
it is worthy of the Greyfyre Puppies. Greyfyre Shelties does reserve the right to match the pup with the right home.
