Welcome to
Skyehaven
and the home of Sherrie and Cam Sparling. We have been involved in breeding
and exhibiting since 1989, first with our Collies (1989-1997), and, since
1992, with our Shelties. We also own two Powder Puff
Chinese Crested
Dogs.
At Skyehaven we
usually breed 1-2
litters per year, trying to keep our focus on quality
rather than quantity. We do a breeding only
when we hope to keep a promising puppy
for ourselves, as our next show dog.

Occasionally we have show puppies
available to approved show homes but as a rule we prefer
to place what we do not keep in family homes where they
will live out their lives as beloved companions.
We sell our companion puppies on Canadian Kennel Club
non-breeding registration, with a separate legally
binding spay/neuter contract. We ask all prospective
purchasers to complete the appropriate
questionnaire
as this helps us to place the right dog with the right
family.
Skyehaven puppies are
raised as part of the family. We do our best to expose
them early and often to as many different sources of
stimuli as possible, in order to ensure they leave here
with good temperaments and attitudes.
In appropriate weather, they are also introduced gently
to the outdoors via our large rear deck. Here the
seasonal noises of lawnmowers, chain saws, tractors,
birds and of course, the barking of the other dogs, help
to start them out on a positive note.
Once the puppies are old enough, they
also are allowed supervised interaction with the adult
dogs by visiting our fenced kennel runs which are
visible from both our bedroom and back deck.
As
the future lives of our puppies is of paramount
importance to us, we work very hard to select the right
homes through a careful
screening process.
We therefore reserve the right to refuse the sale of any
of our dogs to a home which does not meet our
requirements and standards.
We hope you enjoy your visit with the Sparling family
and the
Skyehaven
dogs - come back often!
