It is with sadness that we write this page. 

Unfortunately, due to some health problems, Leroy has never been used for breeding. He is now sterilized and retired to the couch full time. Our sincere thanks to our veterinarian/co-owner Dr. Danielle Hould, our friend sheltie breeder Bonnie Rector of Highledge Shelties and our handler Diane Biggar. Your support was much appreciated. 

My dear Leroy, you arrived in my life at a time where I had the needed you most. You made me laugh when I was living through difficult times and you had change my mind. Despite fragile health, you continue to be an exceptional and faithful dog. You're a perfect sheltie, you're my shadow and my sweet half. We had put a lot of hope in you. You gave me my first moments of joy and pride in the dog shows. You're my first sheltie with the title Canadian Champion, and in my heart, you will forever remain my champion. We will do our best to give you a comfortable life. Long life to you my sweet guy. 

Leroy is a special boy that has a wonderful personality. He has an amazing temperament and an attitude that says: "Look at me, I am the best!" Leroy completed his Canadian Championship at the age of 8 months from the Junior Puppy class under judges from across the world. He loved the show ring. He was also en route to his American Championship but due to his health condition he will never make his Championship in the USA. 

I hope that our history makes shelties breeders and purchasers of dogs aware that it is essential to test and certify the shelties for hips, eyes, thyroid and von Willebrand disease. A Champion Canadian title does not mean that the dog is in good health! Expect to see the health certificates and encourage breeders to test their breeding stock.
