Meet our family!

My husband Curtis, my daughter Tabitha on the right,

son-in-law Jerry & our wonderful granddaughter Kate on the left!

Nandina Shelties is located on over 5 heavenly acres in Mount Ulla, NC

just right outside of the resort area of Mooresville, N.C. near Lake Norman.

My  husband & I have been devoted sheltie lovers for over 25 years. 

I show my dogs in AKC Events, which are governed by the highest

standard in regards to the rules and regulations for the breed.

On occasion we might venture out to another registry

such as the United Kennel Club or the National Canine

Association to exhibit our shelties in order to earn additional titles. 

Yes, that's me......

Check out my new toy! This is what you really call

"IMPRINTING FROM BIRTH!"

  I was given my first sheltie

as a toddler, or should I say he actually attached himself to

me in the fall of 1955. A beautiful bi-black that we called

Blackie. He would lay beside my crib day & night. He

became my best friend and guardian angel for all his life.

I aquired my second Sheltie in the spring of 1963, she was

a present for my 8th brithday.  My mother & I decided to

call her Fluffy, since she looked just like a little fluff ball! 

She was a beautiful red sable with white markings. 

As a little girl I had such a deep affection and love for

dogs that I would frequent the local animal shelter in

Charlotte, N.C. always bringing home another four footed

fuzzy critter! On one special day I laid my eyes on the

most beautiful creature, he was a dark shaded sable

sheltie.  I pleaded with my parents to allow me to bring

him home from the shelter.  I would call him Brandy. 

Brandy was my 3nd sheltie, he was very much like my

AKC Champion Dan in color and structure. I never new

that the deep love for this breed had been cultivating

since I was born.

  Nandina Shelties  

derived its name from the Nandina Shrub which decorated

our property abunduntly. This hearty shrub will stand strong

and steadfast through the most brutal temperatures whether

it be hot or cold. There are no pest or disease problems with

the Nandina Shrub nor are they poisionous to dogs, so how

nice is that?  We felt it only fitting to prefix our kennel name

  after the Nandina bush. Nandina Shrubs produce white

flowers in the spring and bright red berries which hang like

grapes in the fall and on through the winter months.

As a tip, you can make beautiful long lasting

table arrangements from this shrub for the holidays.

Nandina--also called "Heavenly Bamboo"

THERE NO KENNEL RUNS HERE!  OUR PUPPIES

AND DOGS HAVE PLAY YARDS AND ARE

HOUSED MOSTLY IN OUR HOME!

Respectfullly we maintain a low number of Sheltie kids here,

between 12 to 15 dogs is our comfort zone.  We like to make sure

we have enough time for each one when it comes to individual

Playtime....Grooming and LOVE!

Our dogs are tested for genetic defects. We promote this breed

for its beauty & intelligence in addition to a warm and loving

temperament with sound minds, structure and a pleasing eye.

In our breeding program our aim is set high as a concerned

and responsible breeder to produce according to the standards

of the  American Shetland Sheepdog Association and AKC.

Our shelties, puppies or adults are placed in APPROVED

homes only. We require spay/neuter contracts on all our pet

puppies and we offer a health guarantee. All our puppies are

We are a breeder that has a deep respect and passion for the

betterment of the breed so here at Nandina have adopted the
