Introduction to Sunspun Shelties
" Every time I lose a dog, they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart.
If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are"
Cheryl Zuccaro
Sunspun Shelties is located in warm and sunny Florida. I started in obedience in 1988. In 1994 I discovered the breed ring, and was given the opportunity to co-own a beautiful puppy named Taffy, (BISS Ch. WarmWinds Sunspun Delight.)
I am a reputable breeder ( AKC description of a reputable breeder) that is active in conformation or breed, agility, and I am getting back into obedience. My Shelties are sable and white.
My dogs are:
1. Certified by a Veterinarian Opthomologist (CERF-eyes).
2. After one year their hips are x-rayed for Hip Dysplasia (Prelim.)
3. When they are two years old or older they are officially OFA'd to clear them of Hip Dysplasia.
4. They are cleared of thyroid problems and Vwd-Von Willebrands disease (a bleeding disorder).
I am a current member of the:
1, Shetland Sheepdog Club of Southeast Florida (SSCSEF)
2. Dog Obedience Club of Hollywood. (DOCOH)
3. As of May 2000 I became a proud member of the American Shetland Sheepdog Association (ASSA).
- I am active in the conformation ring and introducing my dogs to agility and obedience.
- If you have any questions about puppy training, grooming, or health issues, please feel free to ask me.
- I will teach you how to train your dogs ears to tip correctly. The dogs ears are moleskinned and glued down till after all their adult teeth are in.
- I do show groom pet Shelties when asked.
