About shetland sheepdogs
Contrary to popular belief, Shelties are not miniature Collies, but are their own unique breed. A fairly small breed (usually under 25lbs in adulthood), Shetland Sheepdogs are wonderful family pets.
They are great with children and other animals, adore their people, and are very willing to obey and please their owners. They are extremely intelligent and quick to learn, and also tend to be fairly vocal. These gentle, playful pups are well-suited for active families.
shetland sheepdog Care
Shetland Sheepdogs can bark a lot. They are intelligent and learn quickly, so train them early to respond to commands to keep the barking in check.
These dogs are playful and active, so be sure to provide them with lots of mental and physical stimulation.
