About Us
Jubilee Shelties began many years ago in Texas. It was a dream, a notion, and a learning experience all the way. In 1978 I bought my first obedience sheltie, Sonny. Since then we have grown and learned and moved forward, and I was very lucky to have had some of the "great" sheltie breeders as my mentors over the years. I will be forever grateful to Vicki King of Springtime, Ken & Ann Flessas of O'Davak, Ralph and Karen Elledge of Karral, Rick Carr, Randy Carr, Nancy Keen, and the many other Texas sheltie folk who showed me the world of shelties. A special thanks to my friend, Sue Rhodes, who helped found Jubilee and began our journey down this path. We started, stopped, started again, and finally acquired what would become the foundation of Jubilee's shelties, Am/Can Ch Barwoods Ruffles N Lace, "Maggie." Thanks so much to Barbara Thompson for allowing this wonderful girl to become part of the Jubilee family! At one of my first ASSA Nationals, I met Saye Clement of Autumngold, and Kim Aston & Peter Culumovic of Laureate, both in Ontario. Those friendships have proven to be invaluable! More to learn, more growth, more changes for the best. We strive to breed and show the absolute best that shelties have to offer - not only beauty and sound structure, but also brains, sweet, sweet expression, and solid, happy temperaments. Feel free to contact us about any current or upcoming litters, or recent activities.
I met the most wonderful, supportive partner, Bobby Oliver, and married him in January of 2003. Our friend, Donna Crabtree, GorDon Shelties, set everything up for us and we had a beautiful wedding on the beach in Hawaii. Her dog, Micky, was Best Man. Thank you, Donna! Bobby's love for me and the sheltie gang is above and beyond the call. He not only contributes daily in care and socialization of the shelties, but he returned the joy to my life. Without him, Jubilee Shelties would not be where we are today.
We added and finished our first male, Am/Can Ch Laureate Latitude, "Alfie". Thanks to Kim & Peter for letting "Alfie" join the Jubilee family. I cannot express how much I appreciate their decision to share this wonderful boy with us! Jubilee has also recently forged a partnership with Autumngold Shelties of Ontario. Our first co-bred litters are in the works and we expect this to blossom into a great future for both of us. Jubilee has truly become an international family.
BIG NEWS: We finally have a web site!! Thank you, Amy! During the summer Jubilee and Autumngold branched out into my first AOAC's. See the Hopefuls page for more details. Jubilee would like to announce the acquisition of Pedigree Software by Chris Clement. We hope to have the transfer finalized by December, 2005. For more information about this easy-to-use pedigree-building software and how to purchase, please click on the Pedigree Software Link on the Home page.
Beginning in January 2006 Bobby and I moved forward with our new house, 1900 square feet of dog and people friendly space. The deconstruction, new construction, and the move took longer than we anticipated but at last we moved in! We LOVE our new surroundings - and the dogs feel the same way!
2007 The AOACs Have Grown On
Us! Interesting what the acquisition of one little blue girl 2 years ago has led to! Skyehaven Labyrinth (aka Brynna the Brat) was bred in 2006 to Can Ch Autumngold Laureate Alabama, and gave us a gorgeous litter of four babies. We have kept two - a tri girl and a Bi-blue girl, and are thrilled with both of these babies. We also acquired a tricolour bitch from Apple Acres Shelties, and have a darling tri daughter of hers growing up here as well. The sables are wondering WHAT on earth has happened to their eyesight - colors everywhere they look!
We have some very exciting
breedings planned for 2007 - check our
