What to ask about
Because availability changes, the site directs inquiries to two specific topics:
- What is currently available — puppies that are ready or nearly ready.
- Upcoming litter information — planned or expected litters, useful if nothing is available right now.
The site also notes that older shelties are occasionally available for show or companionship homes. If you are not set on a puppy, it is worth asking about these adults in the same call or email.
What Westdel Shelties breeds for
Knowing the program helps you ask better questions. The site describes home-raised puppies bred for:
- Conformation (show)
- Obedience
- Agility
- Companionship
The kennel states it tests all shelties prior to breeding, with the goal of producing healthy dogs that live long, active, happy lives, and that it selects for quality bloodlines and pedigrees. It is a registered kennel with the Canadian Kennel Club and is active in the Canadian Shetland Sheepdog Association and the Forest City Kennel Club.
Practical tips before you call
- Have your questions ready. Ask which puppies or adults are available, expected timing for upcoming litters, and what health testing was done on the parents.
- Say what kind of home you offer. Mentioning whether you want a companion, performance, or show dog helps the breeder match you to the right dog.
- Expect to leave a message. A small kennel run by two people may not answer every call, so a voicemail or email with your name, location, and what you are looking for is the fastest route to a reply.
- Check the site's Puppies and What's New pages first. They are the most likely places for updates on current and upcoming availability before you reach out.
