About Jen

The Sheltie Annual is a true labor of love for owner Jen Milani. She brings over 20 years of design and photography experience, driven by a passion to help cultivate a better breed for tomorrow. Jen started in Shelties as a Junior Handler back in 1999 and has devoted her life to the breed ever since. As the heart behind Maplecove Shelties, she is an active member of the American Shetland Sheepdog Association and competes with her dogs throughout the East Coast.

She is most known for her business, Showtime Design, where she has been campaigning and photographing some of America's top dogs since 2003. It was only natural that she'd use her talents to create a magazine and calendar dedicated to preserving the breed she loves.

Fellow breeders and handlers often say Jen has raised the bar for design, and she feels lucky that she gets to do what she loves every day of her life.
