LIMBUNYA is a dedicated small kennel located in Melbourne, VIC, specializing in the breeding of Shetland Sheepdogs. With nearly 40 years of experience, Kay Sullivan, the owner and breeder, has cultivated a passion for this charming breed, initially starting in obedience training before transitioning to conformation showing. LIMBUNYA prides itself on maintaining a low number of dogs, ensuring that each Sheltie is a beloved family pet as well as a show contender. The kennel is committed to breeding Shelties of correct English type, focusing on temperament, movement, and that signature sweet expression.
The breeding program at LIMBUNYA incorporates the finest Australian and UK bloodlines, with a strong emphasis on health and quality. All breeding dogs undergo rigorous health testing, including DNA testing, eye examinations by an ophthalmologist, and hip scoring. Puppies are carefully raised in a nurturing environment, socialized with children, and receive comprehensive veterinary care, including microchipping, vaccinations, and worming before they find their forever homes. The kennel is also proud to have produced multiple champions in both obedience and conformation, showcasing the quality and dedication behind their breeding practices.
As an active member of the Shetland Sheepdog Club of Victoria, Kay Sullivan is committed to supporting the breed and sharing her knowledge with fellow enthusiasts. LIMBUNYA occasionally has puppies available, and inquiries are welcomed through the kennel’s website. The focus remains on producing healthy, well-tempered Shelties that can thrive as both family companions and show dogs.
