A Breeder We Trust Completely It is hard to put into words just how highly we think of Asgard Shelties. We have had the privilege of bringing multiple Shetland Sheepdogs from their program into our own home and breeding program, both as cherished pets and as show dogs, and we could not be happier with our experiences. First and foremost, their Shelties are absolutely beautiful. The quality, structure, movement, expression, and overall presentation of their dogs are a true reflection of the thought, knowledge, and attention to detail that goes into their breeding program. You can see the care in every dog. But what means even more to us is the person behind the dogs. Asgard Shelties is a breeder who genuinely cares about doing things the right way. She maintains incredibly high standards, is honest and straightforward, communicates wonderfully, and is always willing to share her knowledge and experience. She has consistently gone above and beyond for us, and we know that we can reach out to her when we have questions or simply need another experienced Sheltie person to bounce an idea off of. Her knowledge of the Shetland Sheepdog breed and the show ring is incredible. She has a wealth of experience when it comes to pedigrees, structure, movement, breeding decisions, and presenting dogs successfully in the ring. We have learned so much from her, and we truly value the insight she has shared with us. One of the things we appreciate most is her attention to detail. Nothing seems to be overlooked. From the dogs themselves to the people who are fortunate enough to have one of her puppies, she puts thought and care into everything she does. It is obvious that these dogs are not simply a business to her. They are a part of her family, and the love and dedication she has for them shines through. And then there is the customer service. Absolutely bar none. Her family has always treated us with kindness, respect, and genuine care. We never feel like just a customer. We feel like we have developed a relationship with people who truly want the best for the dogs they produce and the families who receive them. We are incredibly grateful for the beautiful Shelties we have brought home from Asgard and for the friendship, knowledge, and support that have come along with them. We have tremendous confidence in this program and in the people behind it. We are proud to have Asgard Shelties as a trusted source for our own program, and we are very happy to say that we will continue to return to them in the future. If you are looking for a beautiful, well-bred Sheltie from someone who truly cares about the breed, maintains high standards, and stands behind her dogs and her families, we wholeheartedly recommend Asgard Shelties. They have our trust, our respect, and our highest recommendation. read more

I have so much to say about Kade and Asgard Shelties! First off, Kade is an amazing and very intelligent person with amazing knowledge of what she does and of the breed. I got my beautiful Sheltie from her five years ago and to this day I can write to her about a question and she responds so quick!! Even all these years later she still shows up and gives me the time to answer my questions and check up on my little guy. What I found so special and amazing and the reason I will forever FOREVER only get my Shelties from her was the experience she provided me, the amazing standards she has this breed but the attentiveness she provides. I think the best way to show how awesome she is , is by telling a shorten version of getting my baby boy FozziBear from her. We sent messages back and forth and she told me that one of her mamas was pregnant and was almost due, she was likely to have what I was looking for (bi-blue boy) I told her I live in CA but I want to be so involved as possible. Not only did she send me pictures of the parents and the papers but when mama (Evee) went to her ultrasound, Kade sent me a picture of it!!! It was truly amazing. As time went by I asked if it was possible if she could text me when Evee was giving birth! I don't care what time, just text me! She dam well did! I was awake when my little guy was born. She sent me pictures of him right when he was born. It was the most amazing thing to have the opportunity to be part of. I was so excited but sad that now I had to wait to pick him up. That wasn't a problem! She sent me pictures, updates, and videos of him playing or being a howling boy!! My husband and I drove up to her facility to pick up my baby and when I was there I got to meet his dad (Mr. Jingles) who is the most adorable guy! As time went by I had questions regarding ear maintenance etc and she sent me videos and advice. This experience was the greatest. Oh!! She also kept Fozzi sister and I get to see her all the time on Facebook! Which is the coolest because I get to see his sibling! I HIGHLY recommend Kade and Asgard Shelties! Like I said I will only ever get my Shelties from her. Below are some pictures of my baby FozziBear. read more

Let's be clear: Asgard is all about Shelties...this care extends far beyond the point they become yours. Our first Sheltie from Asgard was a re-home. This poor baby went through two owners: the first of which tried to euthanize him because they didn't know a damned thing about the breed...let alone being responsible pet owners and decent human beings. Luckily through their network of friends and business contacts, Asgard was able to rescue him from clear across the country. His second home had him for a week before they decided they didn't want him. By the time we were able take him his PTSD level was unlike anything we'd ever seen. But we've owned Shelties for over 16 years and most of them were rescued or re-homed. And so through Asgard, "Ford" became ours. He's still very shy and extremely "Sheltie" (IYKYK) but he's come a very long way in two years...and that shyness completely vanishes when it's time for food! Our second Sheltie from Asgard was also a rescue of sorts. Except this time we were the ones that needed the rescuing. You see, a year ago we lost our Sheltie "Scout" to kidney disease...he was only 5 years old. We were able to keep him with us for one year after being diagnosed--it took regular veterinary treatment, medication, and a strict regimen of home-cooked meals--but after that one year it was too much for him to go on. Being Sheltie owners for 16 years, clearly we've had to deal with loss--as their average lifespan is 12 to 14 years. But this...this heartbreak...this came far too soon. And realizing that our eldest Sheltie "Misty" was getting close to that lifespan, we wanted to make sure "Ford" had a sibling to continue his rehabilitation. So we turned to Asgard again, having had a positive experience with "Ford"...only this time we decided to go with a puppy like we had with "Scout". No one could ever replace our lost "Scout". But we know he'd be happy that our family had been rescued by our new Sheltie "Goldie". Thank you, Asgard! Pictures: "Ford" (Tri-Colored), "Goldie" (Sable), and "Misty" (Blue-Merle). "Misty" is not of Asgard...but still worthy...mostly. read more

I live in Western WA and was looking for a local sheltie breeder when I stumbled upon Kade and Asgard Shelties. I was impressed, of course, by how beautiful her dogs were. My previous dog was a rescue who had a congenital heart defect that ultimately resulted in him passing away young, at age 7. This loss was devastating to me, so one of the most important things I was looking for was a breeder committed to breeding healthy dogs. Upon doing more research, I noticed Kade bred healthy champion show dogs and is very active in the show community. While we were just looking for a pet, temperament was also very important to us, so we felt confident purchasing from her. A few weeks after my husband and I got married, we were finally ready to add a sheltie to our family. I really wanted a blue Merle sheltie, and Kade breeds beautiful Merle shelties. She had a stunning male puppy on her website named Sully who was perfect. I inquired about him and we drove 5.5 hours to Spokane to pick him up. We ended up renaming him Merlin. Merlin is such an amazing dog and member of our family. He is sweet, gentle, protective and loving. He gets tons of compliments when we take him out because he's so stunning. He is the perfect family dog and we know we made the right choice for when we have kids someday soon. Since he was a puppy, you could tell he was socialized well and given lots of love and attention. He is so bonded to us and I couldn't imagine my life without him. We can't wait to get him a future sibling from Kade/Asgard Shelties!!! read more

We have 2 shelties from this breeder. We got the Tri first about two years ago. He is a beautiful dog! I've had many shelties over the years and love the breed. They are great dogs, but they are work dogs and need stimulation. If they don't have a job they will find one. He is smart, loyal, loving and playful. When our other sheltie from a different breeder passed away, we contacted Asgard shelties again and got the Merle-he is about 7 months in this photo. He is also beautiful with an amazing temperament . Both are good with our young grandchildren. I have personally seen the kennel (twice) where the dogs were raised. The dogs are clean, handled with love, and well socialized. They are kept together with litter mates where they play and sleep together. You will have to do some grooming-Shelties are hairy dogs and the ones from this breeder have exceptionally thick coats. They are health tested and come home with a care packet. I highly recommend working with this breeder if you want a beautiful sheltie with a good dispo. Shelties are great dogs but you need to understand the characteristics of the breed. Oh, it is noteworthy to add that neither of the ones we have are timid ( they love having a visitor or going to a winery) or bark excessively. Shelties can be very vocal and ours will def have a say about things, but only briefly unless trying to vacuum. read more

We are experienced Sheltie owners, having loved and lived with our first Sheltie for twelve years. After losing her, it took us six years to feel ready for another dog. Since our original breeder had passed away, we began searching for another reputable breeder, which proved difficult as many websites were outdated. We ultimately chose Asgard Shelties because it was clear from Kade's website and Facebook page that she is actively building an outstanding breeding program while mentoring with respected breeders. Her frequently updated website showcases beautiful dogs, upcoming breedings, and available puppies. Additionally, she maintains a private Facebook community for Asgard Sheltie owners to share photos and training tips. We were specifically interested in a puppy from a particular female and deeply appreciated Kade's consistent communication throughout the process. She updated us every step of the way, providing pregnancy confirmation, litter size estimates, an ultrasound picture, a notification when delivery was imminent, and photos of the newborn puppies. Once we selected our puppy, "Teddi," Kade continued to send photos, including precious updates of Teddi interacting with her mother. Her frequent check-ins before we brought Teddi home and her quick responses to our subsequent questions have been wonderful. We highly recommend Asgard Shelties! read more

We are so grateful to have our wonderful George from Kade. She is an amazing, professional breeder with an outstanding reputation for producing exceptional Shelties. What truly sets Kade apart is how personally invested she is in every puppy she breeds. Her care doesn't end when the puppies go to their new homes--she continues to support and stay involved throughout their lives. She is always available to answer questions, offer advice, and celebrate their milestones. George is everything we could have hoped for. He is not only incredibly beautiful but also has the sweetest temperament. We are constantly asked who our breeder is because people are so impressed by him. We are proud to recommend Kade to anyone looking for a healthy, well-bred, and wonderful Sheltie. We couldn't be happier with our experience! read more

Shelties are definitely 'my breed' so it wasn't long after my bi-black died that I started looking for a puppy. I discovered Asgard Shelties, and found the owner, Kade, to be VERY responsive to emails. She spent a lot of time answering my questions, talking about her dogs, explaining when she would have pups available, etc. After I purchased Brighde, Kade kept in touch, and when I had a medical issue, Kade gave accurate, and knowledgeable advice I could give to my Vet. ALL of Kade's Shelties are exquisitely beautiful and smart, but it's an added bonus to come across a breeder who genuinely cares about her dogs and doesn't mind helping out. She is a breeder who loves and cares for her animals. I HIGHLY recommend Asgard Shelties to anyone looking for a well bred, socialized, intelligent Shetland Sheepdog. read more

From the moment I contacted Kade Paasch about getting a sheltie puppy from her she was amazing. She listened to what I was looking for and helped me to get the perfect sheltie puppy for me. The entire process was seamless from picking the sheltie, getting the puppy to me cross country (Spokane, WA to Rich one,VA) via a flight nanny, and answering numerous questions about my sheltie puppy. There was no question when I decided to look for another sheltie who I would buy it from. She puts so much time and effort into her puppies and is incredible to work with. I am looking forward to getting a second puppy from her this Fall. I have owned numerous shelties and Kade produces beautiful puppies and has been the best breeder to work with. I highly recommend Asgard Shelties. read more

Highly highly recommend Asgard Shelties! I have 2 beautiful pups I purchased from her. Both are very well bred and very healthy. The breeder Kade is wonderful to work with! Every dog his health tested, tested for hips, and is not allowed to breed until it receives is championship with AKC to ensure confirmation and AKC standard for the breed. The temperament on her pups are so incredibly sweet and intelligent! Kade is awesome to work with and very transparent about the transaction. Her dogs receive impeccable care and she goes the extra mile to ensure the right pup is paired with the right person/family. I've had my two for 5 years now and she still keeps in touch and I can talk to her any time when I have a question. read more

My family has 3 gorgeous shelties from Kade - a 4 year old, a 2 year old, and an 8 month old, that we got and have had since they were each 8 - 9 weeks old - we absolutely adore all 3 of them Kade is a wonderful breeder to work with and has always been very helpful and willing to work with me. You can see the quality of her dogs and how well bred they are, and her puppies have all had wonderful temperaments and have come well socialized and you can tell, well loved! If you are looking for well bred Shetland Sheepdogs, Kade is a wonderful and reputable breeder! I love working with Kade and have referred I don't know how many people to her for her gorgeous shelties. read more

I've always had shelties, but previously had gotten them from breeders on the East Coast when we lived there. When we began looking for a sheltie breeder in the Seattle area we found Kade, and we now have an amazing, super smart, lovebug sheltie from her. Tallie is the sweetest, gentlest, and SMARTEST sheltie ever, and she is such a delight. She is so calm and just loves meeting people! Kade was great to work with - we got to video chat and "meet" Tallie's mom and see the pups, and chat about what we were looking for in a sheltie. We then got regular photo updates until it was time to pick her up. read more

Kade runs an excellent and professional Sheltie breeding program, and turns out gorgeous Sheltie's! Our purchase of Saki a few years ago was post several intentional Zoom meetings (we live in California out of state) to get to know one another first, to make sure we BOTH felt comfortable and agreed it would be a good match for both of us. Saki is now our little princess fur baby that we just endlessly adore. Kade's Sheltie and cat business is the real deal. Can't recommend Kade enough. In fact, when the time is right, we will be going back to Asgard's Shelties as a repeat customer. :) read more

We have two Asgard dogs and we can not say enough about this breeder. We had a tough choice between puppies. She was very patient about our pick, even though she had others waiting. She even has set up a FB group for us to connect with other Asgard dog owners. The second dog was a year and half "little girl" released from another breeders program for being too tiny. She was one of Asgards puppies and they stood behind their warranty even though she was coming to us from another kennel. Can not speak highly enough about Asgard Shetland Sheep Dogs. Thank you read more

I love Shelties and wanted one- I was looking at an adult that Kade had, but then decided to get a puppy. Kade was great at answering questions and helping me make a good choice; she met us for the puppy transition. Our little boy is a great dog; he's now 1.5 years old and could be an agility dog, or a therapy dog. He loves kids and is happy to show off how smart and skilled he is! Everyone is soooo impressed with how calm he seems and how sweet he is. Our 3 year old collie is his best buddy. We also travel a lot and he is fine on airplanes. read more

Kade is a wonderful breeder and deeply cares for her dogs. My Dusty is from Kade and has grown to be a beautiful and sweet boy. He is now a certified therapy dog visiting patients at our local cancer center. I wanted a puppy with a good temperament and I am so happy with our lovely boy. She nurtured him as a premature puppy and she kept in contact with me as he grew until I could finally get him at 9 weeks. Kade has always been there to help and answer my many questions. She deeply cares for each and every one of her pups. read more

By far the best experience I have ever had with a breeder. She was always so helpful and kept constant communication with me. It's been years since I have owned a Sheltie and she was so amazing to work with. She answered all of my questions without hesitation and kept me in the loop with everything. I would never go another place. Her dogs are wonderful and she truly encompasses what it means to preserve this beautiful breed . if you are looking for the best go no further than Asgards Shetland sheepdogs. read more

We have the best, most special Sheltie in the world from Asgard Shelties! Kade has to be one of the most responsible and responsive breeders of this unique type of dog. She was communicative, taking time to explain what we needed to know, and even more importantly, she made sure we were the type of family and home she requires for her Sheltie pups. She is available even now when we have questions. Our pup is a healthy, treasured member of our family! Highly recommend Kade and Asgard Shelties. read more
