For over 30 years the Martin family has been owned and run by wonderfully happy and beautiful shelties. We all share 4 acres in delightful Berkeley County, South Carolina. Both fur and human kids enjoy every inch of the 4 acres!!! The furkids are quite generous to the human kids (Michelle and grandchildren Kelsey, Jaxson, Hayden, Mary Caroline, Chandler, and Lee Ellen) by allowing them to participate in their indoor and outdoor activities. You know, games like "here's the ball, now let's see if you can throw it" and "ha ha, what's the matter don't you have go go gadget arms to catch me with?" and "You SAID cookie!"

A wonderful friend, Suzi Beacham of Shalamar Shelties has very generously entrusted us with caring for and training an amazingly beautiful, Shalamar's Save the Last Dance, "Mr. Wiggles." He is a "Brodi" grandson. Kelsey is also a co-owner of Mr. Wiggles and very seriously dubbed him Mr. Wiggles not long after his arrival. She is extremely excited about showing him in the breed ring and has already begun show handling classes with him. Kelsey and Coupe took Reserve Winners Dog both days their first weekend out. At the Mebane Specialty in November 2008, Wiggles took 1st in his class on Sat. and 3rd on Sunday...Not bad for only his second show weeekend.

Celestial Coastal Cru'Sun "Coupe" (BISS CH. Jade Mist Coastal Cruiser x Celestial Southern Sunrise) and Silverscreen Celestial Charm "Charm" joined the family in 2004. Both are a moderate 14 inches. We are excited about seeing Coupe in the show ring. Kelsey and Coupe have become a winning team in Junior Handling! Way to go Kelsey!!! Kelsey is now a co-owner of her best bud, Coupe. He adores her.

Many thanks to Tammy Alden and Polly Brolin of Coastal for sharing their beautiful color-headed white baby with us in 2005. "Sky" (BISS CH. Jade Mist Coastal Cowboy x Trevanne's Shakira) has quickly stolen a huge piece of our hearts. Sky has grown up to be a beautiful young lady at 15 1/2 inches. She is dearly loved by everyone who meets her. Sky has a fantastic personality and is a friend to all.

Hyland's Celestial Woodlander (Woody) joined the older girls in 1999. We took obedience classes together and he is very well behaved. Woody is a mahogany sable. His sire is a Ch. Primo Infrared x Primo Treasures of the World son. His dam is Peacewynde Websters New Edition, the daughter of Ch. Macdega Evergreen x Heritage Windsprite. Woody is enjoying his retirement here at Celestial Shelties.

Grand Dame of the gang , Ashes crossed rainbow bridge at 15 years old in 2004. Michelle and Ashes were best friends since Michelle was a year old. And Ashes was destined to forever be Ashes since Michelle's favorite phrase (at a year old) was "ashes, ashes we all fall down."

Trihaven Sunny Sensation (Sunny) is a beautiful bi-factored sable Deep Purple Greatgrandaughter. She WAS the boss and kept everyone in line! We are sadly missing our dear Sunny (August 2006). She was Kelsey constant companion when they were young. In her final years she became Marty's best friend.

Wistwin Celestial Sunrise (Koree). Koree had a wonderful first year . She went reserve winner at her first show when she was 6 months old. And she took first in her specials class, while almost naked at 12 months! Koree 's sire CH. Wistwin Andante "Andy" (owned by Dianne Hawes of Wistwin) is a Ch. Daval Resolute son. Her dam is the daughter of Ch.Primo Infrared x Primo Treasures of the World. My beautiful Koree crossed rainbow bridge way too soon and she is terribly missed and will never be forgotten.
