About Trilliant Shelties - (Stephanie Trautman-Riley)

Hello! My name is Stephanie Trautman-Riley and I have been successfully showing Shelties in multiple venues since 1994 and bred my first litter in 2000. I am a member of the American Shetland Sheepdog Association since Sept. 2000 and currently a member of the Shetland Sheepdog Club of Northern Alabama. I am a past member of the Shetland Sheepdog Club of SE Florida (when I lived in south Florida) and a past member of the Tampa Bay Area Shetland Sheepdog Club (when I lived in the Tampa area). I have held numerous officer position in all of these organizations along with being a breeder referral coordinator in the local clubs. My family and I moved to right outside Nashville, Tennessee in Sept. of 2002 with a career promotion of my husband. We absolutely love Tennessee and have loved raising our two children here (they are both now in high school). I am a small hobby breeder and only have 1-3 litters any given year. Even with our small numbers we have bred, finished, and/or co-owned over 25 AKC champions. We have also had several ASSA National show placing & winning Shelties including High in Trial, Runner Up Best in Futurity and Award of Merit winners. These dogs are our pets first and foremost and they just happen to be AKC breed champions. Puppies are raised in our home along with the hustle and bustle of a busy family. All breeding adults have had breed appropriate health testing (both genetic & screening). We breed/show AOAC (Any Other Allowed Color) Shelties - Blue merle, Bi-blue, Tri-color, Bi-black. We screen all prospective families as we want the right homes for our puppies AND the right puppies for inquiring families. We look forward to your inquiry and are happy to answer all questions you may have. AKC proudly supports dedicated and responsible breeders. We encourage all prospective puppy owners to do their research and be prepared with questions to ask the breeder. Make sure you are not only choosing the right breed for you, but also that you’re getting it from the right individual.
