"Dogs teach us about faith, trust, and devotion.
They teach us how to devotedly serve a higher master,
how to attend and wait and how to let go of a grudge.
But most of all, they teach us about the meaning and experience of unconditional love."

About Us​

Rosemear Shelties is currently located in the Chicago area.  We have been involved in the Shetland Sheepdog breed since purchasing our first one in 1990.  We are members of the American Shetland Sheepdog Association and are preservation breeders focused on healthy, happy, and conformationally correct Shetland Sheepdogs.  Our dogs excel in conformation, performance events, and companionship. All of our dogs are owner handled and our daughters successfully competed in Jr. Showmanship while growing up.  We feed a well balanced homemade raw diet and use many other alternative health methods for their health care, including giving minimal vaccines.  Please have a look around our website, and feel free to contact us for further information.

“I am responsible for my health and wellbeing, and for that of the animals in my care. I will become a knowledgable advocate for myself and my animals in all realms of life. I understand that life, healing, and health are always changing, requiring me me to learn and evolve in order to be an effective advocate. I will not abdicate this responsibility to any person or doctor. The health of my animals ultimately rests in my hands.”
