We are Heidi and Peter Jacobson and live in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia just an hour from Washington D.C. We have been involved in many aspects of dogs from 4-H dog project leaders, obedience, agility, conformation as well as serving on the Board of Directors and Co Show Chair at the Badger Kennel Club in Wisconsin. We are members of the Baltimore Maryland Shetland Sheepdog Club.

We have had the honor of being owned by many top dogs: Ch Acorn Darmil Hanky Panky, BISS CH Darmil All Dollars No Sense (Award of Merit winner at Westminster breeder owner handled, Eukanuba invitee), and MBISS GCH Jade Mist Darmil Stolen Moment (currently ranked #11 in 2010). We also are proud of our "Best on Couch" champions and our "Best in Chewy" champions.

At Darmil, we believe in quality not quantity and only have one or two well planned litters a year. We are proud to have been one of the top breeders in 2002.

We hope in visiting our web site you can feel the love and passion we have for this wonderful breed. Enjoy your stay!
