GUIDING PHILOSOPHY
How We Do Things
At Shimmy Downs Kelpies, we are rigorous in screening and selecting the right home for each animal. Our puppies are bred from proven working dog lines and have natural instinct for sheep. Therefore, we want them going to homes where they are going to be able to use those instincts and do what they love most, working on the farm. To reserve a pup, please get in touch. Note, we will not separate puppies from their mother until they are old enough.
