Occasionally club members may have for sale supplies or tools of the trade, or may have puppies, young adults, or retired adult shelties needing to be placed in approved homes as pets. For information regarding anything available from club members, please contact Karen Schaubel at recording@chicagolandssc.org
Chicagoland Shetland Sheepdog Club, Inc. is not responsible for the quality or integrity of any particular person, product, adult dog or puppy advertised on this page. Though the Chicagoland Shetland Sheepdog Club, Inc. encourages its members to operate under the code of ethics adopted and endorsed by the American Shetland Sheepdog Association, it is advised that, as with any transaction, and especially in the case in which an animal's well-being may be compromised, we encourage both the buyer and seller to ask questions that will ensure all health concerns, guarantees, terms of payment, resemblance and registration issues are clear and acceptable to both parties in writing, before any transaction is completed.
It is a goal of CSSC, Inc. that all club members breeding shelties perform and do all genetic and other tests including, but not limited to, OFA certification for hip dysplasia, CERF certification for eye diseases, DNA tests or genotypically clear for vWD (bleeding disorder not unlike human hemophilia), thyroid test within normal limits, and DNA registration with the AKC; that members place only companion animals that have been spayed or neutered, or under contract for spay/neuter. There may also be occasion when show-hopeful shelties might be offered for placement, under contract terms and conditions specific to that specific breeder, that specific sheltie, and that specific prospective owner, at seller's discretion.
Thank you so much for your interest!
