We will have more puppies this winter! Visit our website Sensationalshelties.com for info on how to join the waiting list 🥰
(1)

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.

I have decided to adopt out one of my retired mommas to a family where she can be spoiled rotten. The momma I am speaking of is my beloved Kia.
It would be the first time I’ve ever considered it before, and it has absolutely nothing to do with her not producing anymore. Infact she was finished being a mom over 2 years ago. I am only considering this because I think it would greatly benefit her to be in a quiet household for her remaining years without the rowdiness of younger dogs moving in and out all the time.
I think I would prefer her to be in a home without any other dogs, or perhaps one other senior dog with low energy. I dont want her to have to compete for affection. I want her to have all the love she could ever want and all the balls she could want to herself. The whole idea is to give her a very chill lifestyle for the rest of her retirement years without the high energy of other dogs.
**Please have a discussion with your significant other before messaging me, and be sure it’s the right time for you to take in a senior dog.
She is going on 10-1/2 years old.
She lounges around most of the time these days but still has a strong passion to play ball even though she gets wiped out quicker and then ready for another nap lol. She would have made an amazing agility dog in her younger years if I had the time to do that with her. The ball is her life lol.

I will not do this unless the situation feels PERFECT for everyone. I am in no rush. I’d prefer a family in Utah just so that it’s easier to return her to me if it didn’t work out for any reason, but I’m not opposed to you being outside of Utah if your willing to travel, and assured me she was the perfect fit and we both knew it. If your looking for a fantastic family dog in every way that’s already potty trained, super laid back but still has a passion for playing ball, and is pretty quiet please message me to chat about her.
I will delete any comments that are not productive or judgemental because like I said, this decision is not being made lightly & it’s not easy for me, but it’s in her best interest.
This girl has a one in a million personality where she literally loves everyone and won’t be phased by having a ‘retirement vacation’ in a new home and if I wasn’t positive about that, I wouldn’t even consider it. But she’s just one of those dogs who loves everyone. If you throw her a ball, you’re her bestie lol. I watch her with the rest of my pack and can’t help but feel she’d enjoy life alot more in a slower paced home now that shes older and slowing down.
Shes not particularly bonded with any of the other dogs here so leaving them wont be difficult, infact I think she finds them annoying lol. She’s in that phase of life where she just wants to chill and lounge around without all these hormones from other younger dogs lol.
She’s my special girl, and I just want the very best for her. I would definitely want to be kept up to date on her and stay in her life with pics & updates.
Again this is something I’ve really put a lot of thought into, so please be kind.
Message me privately if serious.

Our two handsome stud muffins Falyn & Ryder ❤️
I wanted to get a picture of them side by side.
They take my breath away sometimes with their beauty 🥹
Falyn is our main daddy here at Sensational Shelties, but Ryder is siring his first couple litters this winter!
We have litters planned for November & December and I cannot wait to see what he makes with my pretty girls!

🎂 Happy Birthday to my beautiful Freya! 🎊
She is just the sweetest most loving girl ever.
She loves to play ball, getting cuddles and belly scratches. She has a forever puppy like personality and is always just so fun and ready to play.
Her birthday is a day after mine, so she was a gift to myself five years ago. Her mom is my Kesse, and I knew the day she was born that she was mine and I couldn’t part with her 🩷 She has been everything I could’ve hoped for and I adore her so much!
She will be having a litter of puppies with our youngest stud Red Ryder this December! 🥰

09/28/2025

We are so excited to announce that our second stud Red Ryder will hopefully be siring puppies for the first time before Christmas!
He will have puppies with our beloved Mystie & Freya 🩷 Feel free to visit us at SensationalShelties.com for more info about the waiting list.

Peanuts mommy got a little surprise in the mail from us this morning 🥰

09/18/2025

My pretty blue girls Mystie (blue-merle) & Madye (bi-blue). I love the contrast 🥰

09/06/2025

Happy 1st Birthday to Madye! 🎉 🎊
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 ❤️

Our sweet precious little Peanut has gone to heaven this morning 👼

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 💙
Jonnie Riggs thank you so much for being his angel! You were an amazing mommy and I will forever appreciate you.

There are so many comments to reply to them all, so I want to thank everyone who commented expressing there condolences and love for Peanut ❤️

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 13” & 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
