CHARMHILL is a distinguished breeding establishment located in Melbourne, VIC, specializing in the Shetland Sheepdog breed. With nearly 40 years of experience in the field, Christine Klempel, the founder, has dedicated her passion to producing high-quality Shelties that embody the breed’s sweet expression, correct UK breed type, and well-constructed movement. Charmhill is proud to have bred 17 Champions, including a Dual Australian and New Zealand Champion, who has achieved ROMA status, further showcasing the commitment to excellence in breeding.
The breeding program at Charmhill is meticulously planned, with only one or two litters produced each year to ensure the health and temperament of the puppies. All puppies are raised in a loving home environment, well-socialized with children, and undergo thorough health checks, including eye testing, microchipping, and vaccinations. The breeding stock is DNA tested, and puppies are hip scored upon maturity, ensuring that only the best genetics are passed on to future generations.
Charmhill is affiliated with the Shetland Sheepdog Club Victoria and the South Island Shetland Sheepdog Club, reflecting a commitment to the breed and its community. The business emphasizes responsible breeding practices and is dedicated to finding suitable forever homes for its puppies.

Charmhill is a proud advocate for the Shetland Sheepdog breed, ensuring that each dog bred is a testament to the love and dedication that goes into their upbringing.
