I am a small hobby breeder of AKC registered Shelties. Both parents are on the smaller side of the standard. And both have been genetically screened so you know your getting only healthy puppies. I only own the one pair and they are spoiled indoor pets, and part of the family! I'm located in small town Lindon, Utah. Contact Briana Richins via text or message with any questions or if you wish to be placed on a waiting list.

Happy 1st Birthday to Madye! šŸŽ‰ šŸŽŠ
This year flew by and I can’t believe she’s already a year old 😳
She lost a whole lot of her coat over the summer, so she doesnt look as full as she was.
She is still very much a baby and is probably my most hyper sheltie haha.
She has so much personality though and I still think she’s going to take over the alpha role with my other shelties when she is older lol.
She is shy of new things, yet confident and fearless at the same time which doesn’t quite make sense haha.
She gets compliments wherever she goes for her wild markings, and has a wonderful temperament to match! I can’t wait to see what she produces next fall with my sable boys ā¤ļø

Our sweet precious little Peanut has gone to heaven this morning šŸ‘¼

Peanut fought so very hard from the day he was born. He was so small and delicate but he had the heart of a lion seriously. He had so much fight and so much personality in such a tiny body that he made me laugh every day any time I played with him and fed him because he would wriggle and nuzzle into my neck while being the size of a chipmunk for the longest time because he barely grew.
He would be so excited to eat that I had to be quick with the syringe because he’d try to sprint off his blanket and into my lap haha.
I will never forget this adorable little boy!

We all stood by adoring him, watching him grow, and praying he would get through his trials and grow up strong with the long life he deserved.
I picked the best possible mommy for him, and she has bent over backwards and sideways, sparing no expense to get him the care he needed trying to stay one step ahead to try and figure out what was wrong with him. Test after test the vets couldn’t find anything wrong for a while.
He was gaining weight and eating so well that we all thought he had the green light and would be just fine! But this weekend he found himself at the vet again where they diagnosed him with heart failure, and he had alot of fluid building up because of that.
They kept him over night on oxygen and helped relieve him of that extra fluid. They released him last night to go home but sent him with meds for the fluid and they were rushing to get him into a close by vet for further close monitoring but were on a wait list for that. Peanut was still not interested in food this morning, and then shortly later he was found rushed to the vet again but by the time he got there his heart had stopped. They tried to do cpr but they couldn’t bring him back.

It’s really hard to believe this is the end of his journey and I know we will never forget this sweet boy and how hard he tried.
He brought a warm light to everyone he met, and we even felt that through his pictures.
His mommy loves him so much and I know I couldn’t have picked a more perfect family for him.
His short 15 weeks of life was lived in a wonderful, love filled family who would do anything for him.
Thank you all for your prayers over the months, and loving peanut along with us!!
Go in gods grace sweet boy šŸ’™
Jonnie Riggs thank you so much for being his angel! You were an amazing mommy and I will forever appreciate you.

Good luck Wyatt!
He got his cast removed today, and went home with his family tonight ā¤ļø
He just turned 12 weeks yesterday so I wanted to sneak in one last picture without his cast on but the vet said he would be sore for a few days till his muscle builds up so he really wasn’t into having his pics taken, and this was the best one I could get šŸ™‚
I pray all goes well with him & his new family šŸ™

Wyatt is 10 weeks old today!
He is Peanuts brother and he’s still here a little longer, as he’s healing from a broken foot.
He’s doing well, and wants everyone to see how cute he’s getting! Hopefully he’ll be able to go to his family in about two weeks 🄰

I want to take a moment to appreciate this beautiful, amazing little girl of mine!
I have been humbled recently by how greatful I am to have her in my life, because I truly feel god saved her.

This was suppose to be a post where I appreciate her for years of being such a wonderful mother, and how she is now retiring… but on top of that, I want to also express how blessed I am that she’s still here with us at all!!
Her spay yesterday was kind of bizarre 😳
The vet has never seen anything like it before!
So, a dogs uterus is a y shape..
He said that one side looked healthy, and that’s probably where she carried her last 3 puppies, but the other side was dying..

He said when he went to get it out, that side just completely fell apart!
Upon looking deeper he discovered a foxtail w**d was lodged in on that side of her uterus and her body was trying to heal around it but the tissue was disintegrating.
He was amazed there wasn’t any infection yet, and said that it was literally a miracle that I brought her in to be spayed when I did!
By the time it would’ve gotten worse it could’ve been an emergency, and theirs some uterine infections that are so serious it could take their life within days before you even realize their was a problem so it was a pure miracle that it got discovered during her spay yesterday!

Normally I would have waited a few months after they’ve had a litter to do a spay but I just kept having this feeling over me for no particular reason, it just kept telling me to just do it now, just do it.
God must have been watching over her and urging me at the same time!
We have no idea how in the world a foxtail got all the way in there but we do know those things are nasty and can travel through any part of the body!
Theirs no telling how long it’s been there!

If it happened before or during her pregnancy then it may even explain why her son Peanut developed problems. Because if her uterus was compromised then it could’ve interfered with how he grew especially if he grew on that side that was damaged. .And to think she still pushed through & cared for her litter, all while going through that!
She never showed any signs of distress or anything.
She’s the definition of super mom!

With that, I want to express just how grateful I am to her and all the beautiful puppies she’s given to so many blessed families over the years, and how precious she is to me!
I cannot imagine if anything would’ve happened to her. And I’m just beyond greatful that I listened to that feeling to have her spayed now instead of waiting.
It was an absolute miracle!
Thank you for being such a wonderful mom, and I look forward to many years with you where you can just sit back and chase balls all day 🩷
We love you Kesse!!! 🄰

Why mini/Toy Sheltie’s?

..Why not? lol. I have had all sizes and these smaller ones have been by far my most favorite. Their smaller size makes them ideal for most pet families, for indoor pets, apartment living and so on. Their smart, outgoing, bubbly personalities and fantastic kid friendly nature makes them a wonderful choice for just about anyone! I only own two females, and one male, so I am not a large scale breeder. My three dogs are my adored pets that go everywhere with me. Their health and happiness, and that of their puppies, is my first priority. I typically have a litter available once, sometimes twice a year. And because I breed for the love of it, I reserve the right to refuse selling a pup to anyone who I don’t feel is the right fit or situation. I do my best to ensure I am passing on only clear/safe genetics in their offspring, and I have ensured this by testing my dogs all before they were ever parents :) While these smaller shelties are not yet recognized within the breed standard, their are many breeders of these tiny ones that have been working very hard on making them a recognized size in the breed, and are well on their way of making that happen very soon! So while these smaller shelties are not able to be shown, but you can enter them in agility and they make fantastic lap sized pets. My three dogs are all small, under 15lbs and come from small lines, so the chances of their offspring being small like them is very high, although I cannot guarantee the pup’s sizes. Genetics can be tricky and unpredictable so the puppies adult sizes can always vary but I expect them to stay under 13ā€ & 15lbs. I try to make their prices are reasonable as possible. My prices my still seem high to some, but if you take into account all the time, investment, testing, and good food that goes into my program, and compare prices from other well known toy size sheltie breeders.. you’ll see that my prices are very reasonable.

All puppies are sold with limited Akc / Ckc registration to pet homes. I am not opposed to selling to breeders as long as they test their dogs as well, and do it responsibly.

I am located in Lindon, Utah and I am trying to avoid shipping my puppies. So far this has not been a problem. I have had people from other states drive here to pick up their puppy, and I prefer this way instead, so you must be willing to come here to get your puppy when they are ready to leave at 8-10wks old. I let them go, only when I feel they are ready. Feel free to message me with any further questions. Thanks
