AKC Breeder of Merit Bronze

Vali Icelandics breeds, trains, and shows EXTRAORDINARY Icelandic Sheepdogs, and has been exclusively focused on the Icelandic Sheepdog breed since 2014.

My goal has always been to breed and show healthy, happy dogs with excellent temperaments.

Whether you are looking for a loving companion or a talented
and successful competition partner, a Vali Icelandic Sheepdog is a perfect fit!
