SHELMANNA SHETLAND SHEEPDOGS
SHELMANNA HISTORY
We started with a Collie Rough when our children Amanda and David were two and three. Lassie lived with us until she was 12 years old.
When our daughter Amanda commenced employment, she purchased a Shetland Sheepdog from her first pay, "Orielton Nuggett". This is when the love affair for this wonderful breed began. We discovered at a young age that this little dog would not become a show dog, so we commenced obedience with him, which he was just wonderful at, taking out 4 Best in Trials.
We then purchased 5 more shelties, each time being told they were show dogs and they unfortunately did not come up to what we were looking for, we then became very frustrated.
We then went to Melbourne Royal and then purchased a 5 year old Australian Champion bitch "Meega Maytime". She went on to produced our first home breed champion "Shelmanna Sensation", a tri dog who titled at 13 months old. From there Shelmanna has gone on to produce 45 home breed champions, 7 Grand Champions and 3 of the new title of Supreme Champion, with Sup Ch Shelmanna Out oth Blue and Grand Ch Shelmanna Jazzman also receiving their ROMA.
For us there is only one breed the Beautiful and Majestic Shetland Sheepdog.
