| Sandy's Pedigree |
| Sandy was not only our most influential Stud dog, he had a huge influence on the breed in general and was well known for stamping the English type on his progeny, he was also CEA / CH Clear. He was a wonderful Sheltie to live with, a gentle soul who only wanted to please, and this he did as only Sandy could. Sandy is a Sheltie that we will always hold very near to our hearts. |
