Bernadette
and Dennis Bay live in West Sussex England.
Shelties have been a big part of our lives for almost 20 years.
Our goal in breeding is to produce shelties with beauty and brains
combined with that extra special spark that makes a sheltie fun
to train. We love to see our shelties excel in all the
venues; conformation, obedience, agility, freestyle and herding.
Bernadette started with shelties in obedience in 1988. Our first
sheltie, Noel, finished her AKC and UKC Utility obedience titles
and sparked our love for shelties. Our second sheltie, Holly, finished
her CD and then produced our first sheltie litter in 1992. My
special girl, Joy, came from that first litter. You can read about all our shelties under "Our Dogs".
Currently, we spend much of our time competing in Agility. Bernadette
and her home-bred shelties, Zen, Hex and Zaz were proud members of the Great
Britain World Agility Team competing in 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. In addition,
Bernadette had qualified to compete at Crufts every year since 2004 with Pax and then Zen, Hex and Zaz. In 2006 Bernadette and Zen won the
Mini Agility Finals at Olympia, the premier agility event in England.
In 2006 Bernadette and Zen were the first team to have achieved
an Agility Championship in the Medium division in England. Bernadette has won multiple medals in International Agility events both in team and individual competition with Zen, Hex and Zaz.
Bernadette loves to share her knowledge of shelties and training,
so feel free to look at some of her published articles on our
articles page.
Our shelties are not only competition dogs, but they are also important
members of our family. Whether it is just a walk to the pub or a
trip to the country, they are usually with us. We love to share
our passion for shelties and we feel that we still have much to learn
ourselves. So, we are always available to answer questions or discuss
shelties. Please feel free to email us at obayshelties@gmail.com
