Welcome to Maplecove. We are a small hobby kennel situated in the beautiful Brandywine Valley in Delaware. We have been active in showing dogs for the past ten years and our goal is to produce dogs that are not only beautiful to look at but a joy to live with.

We keep our numbers small, and house around 4 dogs in order to give them the attention they deserve. They are house dogs first and foremost, and can be found hogging the couch or bed on a regular basis. We breed very little, making sure each litter is carefully planned and health tests have been performed. As a responsible breeder, we abide by the standard set forth by the American Shetland Sheepdog Association in hopes of producing dogs of sound structure and stable temperaments. While each litter has a purpose of producing the next Champion, most puppies will be companions and we do our best to make sure they are healthy and outgoing additions to any family.
