Behind every good Shepherd is a Spaniel keeping them in check 😆

We love getting to catch-up with our pups. Here we have littermates, Luna & Sergei from our 2021 litter.

🎂 🎈 Happy 1st Birthday to our Toy Story Litter 🎈🎂

(Insert grown up pictures below 👇🏻 🤣)

Always such a privilege being a part of rearing a litter of dogs and then watching them go on to lead such fulfilled lives ❤️ We have met so many fabulous people through this venture too.

There has definitely been something missing in the Kelly household this year without a ‘24 litter 😔, however we are led by nature and our priority will always be the best interests of our dogs 🫶🏻

Just before the pups have their very first birthday 😬 here is what their Dad is up to over at Greater Manchester Police…

‘PD Jax scored a winner for the 👮‍♀️ 🐕
Responding to a burglary - Jax tracked from the 🏠 into an alleyway locating property and then two suspects.
One made off - so after one was secured Jax tracked for the 2nd- who wisely decided to give up.
A hat-trick 2 suspects & property.’

Go Jax! 👏🏻

Go girl 🙌🏻

First road run with Bonnie 😍 🏃🏻‍♀️ 🐕

So impressed with how she performed! At just 11 months old, and on her first go, Bonnie is almost exactly how we like our dogs to run with us 💪🏻

She ran past other dogs, pedestrians, traffic, seated diners and multiple food outlets, without batting an eyelid 👏🏻

An 11 month old Trixie 😍

What a credit to her family, who have settled this driven dog into family life (including the arrival of a new addition 👶🏻) and farm life 🫶🏻

Trixie is around other dogs, livestock and horses, daily. We use the best ingredients to create a quality dog, however being in the right hands is what develops them to this standard.

Well done guys and thank you for all the updates ❤️

A lovely feature from of RPD Bronn 🇮🇲 🇬🇧 🥰

I fondly remember Bronn’s handler discussing the moment Bronn began to learn the difference of a training bite and a practical bite 😆 🥩 🙄

RPD Bronn is Brother to RPD Danno, making him Uncle to our ‘21 litter, of which his Niece and Nephew Police Dogs Astra and Moose continue his legacy working for 🤩

Big Sergs! ❤️

Looking very mature now, at 3 years old.

Whilst raising this litter, Sergie was affectionately known as ‘white toes’, as like his mother, he was the only one in the litter to have white toes on each paw.

The stunning Luna from our ‘21 litter 🖤

Granddaughter of our late Police Dog’s, Bodie & Saxon, Daughter of retired Police Dog Danno 🫶🏻

To see our dogs in such fine condition, wanting for nothing, is one of the warmest feelings. Thank you, guys.

Her family describe her as having an Anubis resemblance….we see it!

Full bite Friday 🤩

If you know, you know 💁🏻‍♀️

Wonderful to see sisters, Schaefer & Lilith getting out together 😍

Still only 10 months old although not looking so puppy like anymore 🥹

Thanks for the updates, everyone 🖤

❤️👌🏻

Well Ebonie (nicknamed Bonnie by the kids), you have been with us for a month now, so it’s about time you got on this 🤣 🦈 👌🏻

The smile on ‘Dad’s’ face says it all 😬

Happy 10 month birthday to our ‘23 litter 🎂 ❤️

Here is the beautiful Sabine who is thriving with her loving family. They updated us to say her training is going well and they admire her patience with their young children 🫶🏻

Well done everyone 🤩

Let’s take it back…..

We’re interested to know if any owners/ past owners of our original litter, born 26th November 2011, follow our pages? 😬

This litter is where everything began for IOM SHEPHERDS. Ian acquired Bodie (sable) & Saxon (black) both at 8 weeks old. The pair were successfully mated, twice, as part of the innovative breeding programme Ian developed during his time as Sergeant of the Isle of Man Police Dog Unit.

Both litters produced a total of 17 wonderful puppies, of which a mix remained on Island and became loving family members, whilst others developed into quality operational Police Dogs in the UK.

Fast forward a decade and our 2021 litter mirrored the versatility of their predecessors. This was our first litter of the same linage produced as a private enterprise. We hope there will be more to come 🤞🏻

It’s always exciting to see what our younger dogs are up to, although we value provenance and it is an intrinsic part of our breeding, so we’re not forgetting the originals 😍

Rate our crew 🤣😍….

As fun as she is beautiful.

Our boy then and now 🥲

We watched you being born in our kitchen and we are lucky enough to be able to catch-up with you, your devoted handler and team 🫶🏻

Keep making us proud, Moose (and Matt 😉) ❤️ 🇮🇲 🇬🇧

(Moose’s Sister, Astra, was busy at a job during our visit on this occasion.)

TPD Ziba (IOM SHEPHERDS GABBY GABBY) was Greater Manchester Police Tactical Dog Unit’s Valentine poster girl. 🌹 ❤️

It’s plain to see why 😍

A fine looking dog, if we do say so ourselves 😆

A 7.5 month old Trixie 😍 Knowing our dogs have it made with their families is a hard to beat feeling 🫶🏻
