Our Puppies

You'll receive an AKC-registered Icelandic Sheepdog from health-tested parents. Breeding and show rights are considered on a case-by-case basis. Each puppy is carefully matched to you based on their personality and your lifestyle.
We devote time and love to our puppies, providing balanced physical and emotional stimulation. Safely exposed to various experiences—children, farm animals, car rides, and new textures—they learn to regulate their emotions and adapt confidently. We follow ‘Puppy Culture’ and start early potty and clicker training to keep their minds sharp. Our puppies are also gently introduced to grooming routines like nail grinding and toothbrushing to set them up for lifelong success.
Expect lifelong support from us as we’re dedicated to being part of your Icelandic Sheepdog journey.

Our next litter is planned for Spring of 2025! Get on our waiting list!
