The goal of Leith Kennels
is to breed thoughtfully and selectively so that we can bring out the
best qualities of our Shetland Sheepdogs and Weimaraners. First
of all, our dogs must be a loved and compatible member of the
family. Therefore, we are very selective of possible buyers to
ensure that our puppies live in a loving, happy, and caring
home. We want our puppies to be a part of the family. To
make the move to a new home easier, our puppies are raised in our
home and well socialized. We do our best to match our dogs with
the right family. After the sale, we make ourselves available
for support and advice for the lifetime of the dog.

Other information you wish
to tell us.
Our breeding stock is carefully screened,
with attention given to potential hereditary problems. Our
adult dogs are all x-rayed and OFA'd for hip dysplasia. All
puppies are sold with vaccinations, veterinary certificate, and
feeding recommendations. CKC registration papers are provided
at the completion of the sale of each puppy.
Since no guarantee
of show quality can be made at eight weeks of age, and circumstances
always change, puppies are sold on co-ownerships and/or non-breeding
agreements. Should the buyer wish to reverse the non-breeding
contract at some future date, the contract can be reversed when the dog
reaches two years of age, following a satisfactory veterinary health
check for hips, elbow and CERFS and at the discretion of the breeder.
Assistance is given to the buyers intending to show, to insure an
appropriate choice.
Thank you again for taking time to fill
out this questionnaire. We feel that the Shetland Sheepdog and
the Weimaraner are very special breeds, and deserves the best
possible homes. Therefore, if there is any other information
you would like to volunteer, please feel free to do so.
