The legends of many cultures see the rainbow as a kind of bridge between heaven
and earth. One of the most beautiful sights in nature, the rainbow has become
in western culture a symbol of renewed hope; something lucky to look upon.
Even the brilliance of the colors in a rainbow have significance. A prominent green
means abundance, red means war, and yellow brings death. The Arawak Indians
of South America recognize the rainbow as a fortunate sign if it seen over the ocean,
while tribes in northeastern Siberia see it as the tongue of the sun.
The North American Catawba Indians of the Southeast and the
Tlingit of the Northwest both regard it as the bridge
between the living and the dead.
You have just entered Emerald Valley Kennel located
in Siler City, North Carolina....
follow the yellow brick road.... the place where wishes and dreams become
reality.
We wish that every Sheltie could be free of genetic defects such as hip
dysplasia,
eye abnormalities, Von Wildebrande's disease and skin problems.
We wish to produce shelties that are not only beautiful and sound in the various
conformation and performance competitions, but also be intelligent and affectionate pets.
We wish breeders, pet owners and veterinarians could work together to
ensure the life of a sheltie is a happy and healthy one.
Pictured above are the main kennel areas- to
the left is pictured the five indoor-outdoor runs which
are connected to the basement area of the main house. The indoor area of these runs is heated in
winter, air conditioned in summer, and includes the crating area, bathing/drying area, and food prep area.
The photo to the right is a 20' x 30' covered - and secured to the roof - pen which serves many purposes -
doggie visitors, escape artists, puppies, etc.
The photograph below is an aerial shot of the entirety of Emerald Valley Kennels, taken in the late spring, 2004.
The upside-down L-shaped covered area directly behind the house is where the above 20' x 30'
covered pen is located. The kennel area also pictured above is directly behind the center area of the house.
There is a very large (1 acre+) fenced area directly to the left of the house, and the entire area
behind the house is also fenced, and sectioned off into partitioned areas for the purposes
of separating groups. The
area in front and to the right of the house is several acres of wide open yard.
"There's no place like home!"
