Echowyn Shelties - Nc

Echowyn Shelties, run by Krys Messer in Apex, North Carolina, has been breeding and showing Shetland sheepdogs since the mid-1980s. The kennel sits just outside Raleigh, making it a well-established source for Shetland sheepdog puppies in the Triangle region of North Carolina.

Krys operates as a small hobby kennel with a focus on conformation and companionship, breeding toward sound structure and good movement. Her program places particular emphasis on recognizing correct type — a priority she traces back to early mentorship in the breed. All sires and dams are health tested, with results posted through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, covering hip dysplasia, eye anomalies, and von Willebrand disease.

Echowyn holds membership in both the Triangle Shetland Sheepdog Club and the American Shetland Sheepdog Association, a commitment maintained for over 25 years. Krys has earned the AKC Silver Breeder of Merit designation and serves as the breeder referral contact for shelties across North Carolina through the regional club.
