Welcome to Masek Kennels. We are a small privately owned kennel; conveniently located just 20 miles south of downtown Dallas along I-45 South. We are in the country, just outside the city limits of the small farming community of Ferris.

We have been raising Shelties for 17 years. All our dogs have been raised in a country environment on our farm and all are our pets. Our dogs are not kept in pens separated from us, but rather are in our yard where they receive constant attention from us. They have all been raised with our three sons, the youngest having been four when our now oldest dog was introduced as a pup.
I have worked around dogs most of my life—working for years as a veterinarian assistant as well as a dog groomer. I also attended Texas A & M University where I studied Animal Husbandry.

We have truly found Shelties to be an exceptional breed—teaming with loyalty sensitivity and an overwhelming desire to please. All of these traits make them an ideal breed to own. They make one of the best dog breeds to raise with children! On numerous occasions upon inquiring with people who have purchased a puppy from us why they chose a Sheltie—they often times replied-their vet recommended a Sheltie!!
But, this really comes as no surprise! They are just what their nicknames imply—“Minnie Lassies”.
