Meet the Shetland Sheepdog (aka the Sheltie), a Smart and Sensitive Breed

We had 2 Shelties but both died too young - 9 (kidney failure) and 7 (throat cancer). I still am crying as I write this even though the last one, Laddie, had to be put down 3 years ago. I have never felt such love for a dog as for these Shelties. One of the best!!!!!!!!

This was great, but you only show the Lassie shelties. Our bi black is stunning, and the blue merles offer endless color combinations. People are often surprised to see a black and white sheltie, but quickly realize he's not a Border Collie when they see his face and ruff. These wonderful, intelligent, loyal family dogs are too often overlooked. Thanks for showing them. :)

I love my Sheltie, he's amazing and I will never go to a rescue to get another dog. I know exactly what I want and what I like and will pay whatever it takes to get the exact dog I am looking for. After a horrible experience with rescue I prefer well bred dogs from reputable breeders. Anyone else can kiss my dog's tail.

I HAD TWO SHELTIES BOTH MALES THEY WERE SO SMART I NEVER HAD TO TRAIN THEM AS THEY ANTICIPATED MY EVERY FEELING.WE WERE SO BONDED TO ONE ANOTHER I CALLED THEM "MY BOYS", AND THEY WERE THE EPITIOME OF CLASS AND GRACE. THEY HAVE BEEN GONE FOR NEARLY 8 YEARS, YET ARE AS NEAR TO ME AS IF THEY WERE STILL HERE.

I loved your blog article. Cool.

Thanks-a-mundo for the post. Will read on...
