⚡ LE FIEF DES PETITS CRUNCHIS: PASSION, HEALTH & PERFORMANCE
Family breeding facility specialized in working Shetland Sheepdogs for 15 years. Located in the heart of the Haute-Saône countryside (France), we raise a limited number of puppies per year to give absolute attention to every single litter. Our goal: breeding healthy, highly balanced, responsive dogs with an intense drive for work.
Healthy & Rigorously Health-Tested Dogs
In addition to adhering to the breed standard, health is our top priority. 100% of our breeding stock is fully screened and clear for all genetic diseases affecting the breed:
-
CEA (Collie Eye Anomaly)
-
PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy)
-
MDR1 (Multi-Drug Resistance)
-
DM (Degenerative Myelopathy)
-
vWDIII (Von Willebrand Disease Type III)
-
DMS (Dermatomyositis)
🐾 Early Socialization, Enrichment & Livestock Exposure
No kennels or crates here: our dogs live alongside us and share our everyday life. From an early age, our puppies benefit from a rich outdoor enrichment program:
-
Livestock & animal exposure: Safe contact with chickens, rabbits, sheep, and cattle from neighboring farms, as well as our own flock of sheep.
-
Comprehensive habituation: Daily handling, household noises, interaction with children, and car rides.
