Shamont

Shamont is a Shetland sheepdog breeder in Clifton, VA, serving Northern Virginia near Washington.

Owner Linda Sanders oversees each litter and keeps detailed health records to ensure consistency with breed standards. The program follows breed club protocols with screenings for hips, eyes, and thyroid and maintains registration through recognized organizations.

Adult dogs live indoors and enjoy daily access to secure, fenced yards and wooded trails for supervised exercise. Puppies grow up in a family setting and participate in regular socialization sessions with children, other pets, and varied environments. Each litter receives introductory obedience training and a temperament evaluation to match companion and performance homes. Shamont provides lifelong support and shares guidance on grooming, nutrition, and activity needs that help Shetland sheepdogs thrive in busy households. Known for their intelligence and adaptability, these dogs have a natural herding instinct and respond well to agility activities.
