Lockehill began in 1990 when I purchased my first sheltie, Pandras Kismet Kate. Katie and I competed in obedience classes and did well but I was drawn to the breed ring. A beautifully groomed correct sheltie flowing around the ring is breathtaking. I decided to breed Katie and took her to Guy Mauldin. Well to put it bluntly, he said "the world doesn't need anymore ugly shelties and maybe I should get a better bitch." That statement began my quest. From Molly, my first "show quality" bitch and foundation to the present, the quest is ongoing. Oh, by the way, Guy Mauldin happily bred Molly to his Ch Kismet's Talisman II, ROM and that breeding produced my first Champion "Whisky", Ch Lockehill What's Ur Pleasure! Guy's statement was hard but he was right and I am forever grateful that he changed my direction.
Lockehill is a "not for profit" hobby, my shelties are my pets! We are located 35 miles north of San Antonio Texas on the Wilhelm von Specht homestead (circa 1853-1878) in the beautiful Texas Hillcountry. My dogs live in a cabin built in 1853 and enjoy the evenings in the "grand house" (1878) with me. Click on picture of my home for a tour of the homestead. I hope you enjoy your stay. Margaret Locke, caretaker, my shelties own me!
