About The Breed

The Shetland Sheepdog, often referred to as the "Sheltie," is a small to medium-sized, intelligent, and agile breed known for its herding instincts and beautiful double coat. With a striking resemblance to a miniature Rough Collie, Shelties are affectionate, loyal, and eager to please, making them excellent family companions. They are highly trainable and excel in obedience, agility, and dog sports, due to their quick minds and strong work ethic. Shetland Sheepdogs are also known for their protective nature, often alerting their owners to anything unusual. Regular grooming is required to maintain their thick coat, but their friendly disposition and devotion to their families make them a popular choice for active households.
