PALM BAY, FL...Here at Mikamar we are dedicated to producing and raising Shelties to reach their full potential. In addition to being beautiful, healthy and structurally sound, our dogs are intelligent, loving and stable in temperament. A tremendous amount of work goes into their care and training before they are eight weeks old and ready for their new home; whether they are destined to be in the show ring, obedience or agility ring, or simply to cuddle in your lap and give you the heart & soul that is so endearing to the breed.

Don’t let those sweet faces and gentle cuddles fool you, however! Shelties have another side to them...just pick up a tennis ball or Frisbee, or even put on your shoes to go outside, and your sheltie will fly into action! “Yes, let’s play, let’s GO!” they seem to say, as they leap so high that all four feet come off the ground in anticipation. Honestly, they seem like they are on pogo sticks! However, if you gently explain that we will play later, and you are just walking to the mailbox to retrieve the mail, they will try their hardest to control themselves and wait until you are ready. Of course, they will be at the door bouncing up and down until you return, thinking they can change your mind!
