Cathy got her first Old English Sheepdog in 1986, that's when the love affair began. My first dog Kaillie, was a handful. I did everything wrong, but we both taught each other so much. Weed was my next girl, she was so calm and she taught me more about grooming, dog shows and breeding. Enjoy our website and story of all of the Tumbleweed crew over the years.  All go back directly to Weed.

We enjoyed going to dog shows, doing a bit of obedience over the past 30 years.

I married Uwe Schellenberg in 2007, and he became a sheepdog lover too. 

We have produced multiple American and Canadian champions over the years. Nani became the number three dog of all breeds in Canada in 2016, and number one female. She also won the coveted Old English Sheepdog Club Of America National Specialty in 2015.

Although we are no longer showing we continue to occasionally breed. Also continuing to do health and genetic testing on all breeding females, and request the same on the males. Because these are living beings we are unable to predict all health concerns, and we do provide a guarantee our puppies to be free of common genetic problems.
