Submit Your 2012 Sheltie Seminar Suggestions...
We want to hear from you! We would like to know the areas of interest which you believe would be most beneficial to you and fellow exhibitors/breeders in the area.
Pending feedback, we will be hosting a seminar based on what you need. We hope to make this an annual event. Depending on your feedback we may host the event at our farm, at nearby accomodations, or perhaps we'll host it in a hotel along a major interstate highway. Let us know what you want and we'll take into consideration your thoughts and ideas.
This event is intended to provide further education to Sheltie breeders-exhibitors-fanciers to protect the breed for many generations to come. This event will be sponsored, so that means this is your opportunity to attend a no-cost or low-cost Sheltie seminar event. Health clinics will be as affordable as possible for cost/organization fees only.
