Trilliant Shelties - (Stephanie Trautman-Riley)

Trilliant Shelties has been raising Shetland sheepdogs in Fairview, Tennessee, in the Nashville area, since Stephanie Trautman-Riley bred her first litter under the Trilliant name in 2000. Her connection to the breed goes back further still — she purchased her first sheltie as a companion in 1991 while in college, and that dog set the course for everything that followed.

Run as a small hobby kennel, Trilliant's program spans conformation, performance, and herding, reflecting Stephanie's long history of competing across multiple AKC venues. Under the Trilliant name, she has bred, co-bred, or owned close to 30 AKC breed champions alongside numerous performance titleholders. All breeding adults are tested for OFA, CERF, vWD (unless clear by parentage), and thyroid health, and the focus throughout is on producing shelties that are correctly structured, stable, and confident — whether they go on to the show ring or a family home.

Stephanie holds membership in the American Shetland Sheepdog Association, having joined in 2002, and currently serves on the ASSA Board. Those looking for Shetland sheepdog puppies in Tennessee from a program with deep breed involvement will find a long-running kennel with verifiable show credentials and a consistent health-testing standard.
