THE HISTORY OF JOPAVIST SHELTIES
I GREW UP WITH COLLIES. MY DAD RAISED AND SHOWED THEM UNDER THE JOPAVIST KENNEL NAME. I WAS HIS KENNEL HELP AND TRAINER ALL THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL.
I LOVED THE DOGS AND EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM. ONCE MARRIED AND WITH A FAMILY OF MY OWN WE DECIDED THE SHELTIE WOULD BE THE PERFECT PET FOR US. WE BOUGHT A LITTLE TRI FACTORED SABLE FEMALE BY BANCHORY HIGH BORN. WE HAD LIVED IN CALIFORNIA FOR MANY YEARS AND WHEN WE MOVED BACK EAST I WANTED TO BREED HER TO A WORKING SHELTIE. AT THAT TIME THEY WERE HARD TO FIND. I HAD SEEN CH ROMAYNE SPORTIN LIFE AT A DOG SHOW AND THOUGHT HE WAS GORGEOUS. WE BRED OUR GIRL TO HIM AND THAT WAS THE START OF JOPAVIST SHELTIES.
WE HAVE BRED TWO CHAMPIONS AND MANY POINTED DOGS. BUT MOSTLY WE HAVE BRED HEALTHY, SOUND AND AWESOME TEMPERAMENTS.I WANTED PUPS THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL FAMILY COMPANIONS.
WE CONTINUED TO SHOW BUT WITH A FAMILY COULD NOT DEVOTE THE TIME. SO WE SHOWED SOME AND STARTED TRAINING IN OBEDIENCE AND AGILITY. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL THERAPY DOGS OVER THE YEARS AND THAT IS VERY REWARDING, NOT ONLY FOR THE PERSON YOU VISIT BUT ALSO FOR YOURSELF.
WE STARTED THE GRANITE STATE SHETLAND SHEEPDOG CLUB BACK IN 1982. WE ALSO STARTED GRANITE STATE SHELTIE RESCUE AND DID RESCUE FOR MANY YEARS. I AM A MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN SHETLAND SHEEP DOG ASSOCIATION.
I LOST MY HUSBAND TO BRAIN CANCER IN 2017 AND THE DOGS WERE MY LIFE SAVERS. THEY ARE GREAT COMPANIONS AND KEEP ME GOING. I MAY TRY THE SHOW RING AGAIN BUT WILL DEFINITELY DO SOME PERFORMANCE AND CONTINUE TO BREED HAPPY, HEALTHY,SHELTIE PUPS WITH AWESOME TEMPERAMENTS.
