Cathy Merrithew

CATHY MERRITHEW is a Canadian dog breed specialist and professional groomer who got her first Shetland Sheepdog more than 20 years before writing her book on the breed. She is the author of The Shetland Sheepdog: An Owner’s Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet.

At the time of publication, Merrithew served as the British Columbian Director for the Canadian Shetland Sheepdog Association and wrote a monthly column on Shelties for Dogs in Canada Magazine.

When she’s not writing, Merrithew works as a veterinary receptionist and professional groomer. Her expertise with Shetland Sheepdogs informs the practical, owner-focused guidance at the heart of her work.

Cathy lives in British Columbia.
