No, I'm afraid it would be impossible to trace our dogs' ancestry. I don't know if Jasmine's mother was registered or what her full name was and I don't know who Jasmine's father was. I think Liesel is the product of something comparable to a puppy mill.

Your Chopper and my Meg are (were

There's a really good book on Shetland Sheepdog lines, if you're interested, with a bit of history on some of the most notable breeders.
