About GrandFort

Registered and member of the Canadian Kennel Club.
 
I am a hobby breeder located in the province of Quebec, Canada.
 
My first performance sheltie is from Grandgables and I fell in love with the breed. After much thought, and delay, I knew I wanted to maintain the integrity of the breed and contribute to the fancy. As fate has it, I do not come from a family with deep roots in the dog world. However, that motivated me to learn about the breed at an accelerated pace and form meaningful relationships with incredible individuals more knowledgeable and specialized in their respective field of work.
 
As a result, I have built a solid support network to help support my program. I strive to maintain, build upon, and improve the breed; as well as, ensuring we keep the sheltie’s elegance, dignity and history intact for future generations.
