You have just entered Emerald Valley Kennel located in Siler City, North Carolina.... follow the yellow brick road.... the place where wishes and dreams become reality. We wish that every Sheltie could be free of genetic defects such as hip dysplasia, eye abnormalities, Von Wildebrande's disease and skin problems.

We wish to produce shelties that are not only beautiful and sound in the various conformation and performance competitions, but also be intelligent and affectionate pets.

We wish breeders, pet owners and veterinarians could work together to ensure the life of a sheltie is a happy and healthy one.

 
Pictured above are the main kennel areas- to the left is pictured the five indoor-outdoor runs which are connected to the basement area of the main house. The indoor area of these runs is heated in winter, air conditioned in summer, and includes the crating area, bathing/drying area, and food prep area. The photo to the right is a 20' x 30' covered - and secured to the roof - pen which serves many purposes - doggie visitors, escape artists, puppies, etc.

The photograph below is an aerial shot of the entirety of Emerald Valley Kennels, taken in the late spring, 2004. The upside-down L-shaped covered area directly behind the house is where the above 20' x 30' covered pen is located. The kennel area also pictured above is directly behind the center area of the house. There is a very large (1 acre+) fenced area directly to the left of the house, and the entire area behind the house is also fenced, and sectioned off into partitioned areas for the purposes of separating groups. The area in front and to the right of the house is several acres of wide open yard.
"There's no place like home!"

 

Now follow the yellow brick road, and meet our family!

It is with great appreciation I thank Anya Dornak and Carol Morris for their early work on these web pages, including the making of the Emerald Valley logo and images, the page layouts, and Anya's  creative and patient work maintaining the pages in the past. Without the help of these wonderful ladies, Emerald Valley would not have such a nice home on the web. THANK YOU!
