Belmark Shelties is a small hobby kennel located in North West Ohio near Bellefontaine, 45 minutes North of Dayton and about an hour from Columbus. I hope you have time to stay and visit and see pictures of our home and kennel. We were established in 1986, striving for AKC standard correct shelties for all rings. We exhibit in AKC (American Kennel Club) and CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) and sometimes UKC (United Kennel Club) Just for fun. Also check out our Dog Art page.  

We specialize in AOACs. ( although we are starting a sable line) Our lines are based on Banchory through Tall Timber and Macdega with a splash of Heritage Spirit. This blend stamps our shelties with solid, well moving bodies and stable temperaments as well as a classy, elegant presence, loads of coat and a sweet, loving expression. To see some of our informal sheltie photos check out our Gallery pages, Fun Photos, and Fan Letters to name a few.

We would like to invite you to surf our pages, and look around. We have much excitement as always, and have been staying busy this year with shows and puppies. If you have any comments or questions please feel free to contact us, we are always happy to help!

And please don't forget to check all the links at the bottom of each and every page.
Thanks for visiting with us.

We are eager on what the coming shows will bring for this lovely red sable male and celebrate his new litter of six with Belmark Catch Phrase "Pasha". By the looks of these babies Sonny may be quite the producer.

We would like to congratulate their owners for such a great job, it is now Am/Can Ch Belmark Vermillion; owned by Alicia Stevens, Am Ch Belmark Time To Shine; owned by Waynette McTaque and Am/Can Ch Belmark Trade Rumors: owned by Beverly Klassen.
