Details:
The Shetland Sheepdog, or Sheltie, is a small, active dog with a penchant for barking and a heart full of love.Shelties are not to be confused with a smaller version of Collies; these are two distinctly different breeds. These dogs love an active life and make great family pets too. Ranked 6th out of 132 dog breeds for intelligence, Shelties are incredibly fast learners and need an equally intelligent family to train them. Their beautiful long coats require hours of regular grooming, so be prepared for a lot of bonding time with your Sheltie whilst you brush and clean.
