Welcome to Anistar (pronounced on-a-star) Shetland Sheepdogs. My name is Lindsay Spitznogle, and along with my mother, Maureen, we own Anistar Shelties. We are located in Western Pennsylvania, about forty-five minutes east of Pittsburgh. We have been actively showing our dogs since 1999, but have loved and owned shelties since 1987.

I handle all of my own dogs and also take on client dogs. I am very passionate about handling, and am very committed to the care and presentation of the dogs I show. We have recently just finished our first home bred Champion, and I have handled one of my bitches to a specialty Best in Show win and she has been ranked in the top twenty shelties in the nation.

Our breeding philosophy is simple - to produce healthy, conformationally correct animals that are balanced in mind and body. Above everything else, these dogs our a part of our family, and they must have temperaments that we can live with and enjoy.
