Meet Sheltie, The Wonderful Family Pet
The dogs of the Shetland Sheepdog breed are also called sheltie They are similar to the rough-coated Collie breed, but smaller. They have a pointed muzzle ended with a round nose. The nose is always black. This dog has a muscular neck and a sturdy body under its coat. The sheltie dogs measure an average of 13 to 16 inches at their withers and are considered a small breed of dogs. The double coats of the dogs of this breed are dense and have a large variety of colors, like sable/white, blue merle, tri-color and more.
About the History of the Breed
This sheltie breed originated from the border collies of Scotland. The other ancestors of this breed were dogs of the Icelandic Yakkin, which is a small breed that lived on the Shetland Islands at that time and were crossbred with those border collies. The fully developed breed was called Shetland Sheepdog around 1700s. The dogs of the Shetland Sheepdog breed were used as guarding and herding dogs by the owners of sheep on the islands. Over the years, these dogs were mixed with the rough collies, in order to maintain the characteristics of this breed. The AKC recognized the breed in 1911 and it is part of the herding group.
Personality Traits of the Shetland Sheepdogs
These dogs are eager to please their masters. These dogs are loyal, alert and obedient. They are soliciting attention and affection from their masters. The owner needs to have a firm tone when training this breed, but not to speak harshly for the best results. As with all dogs, the sheltie needs to be socialized as a young puppy.
Any owner of this breed needs to be the leader of the pack; if not, behavior problems can happen. As their herding behavior is still present, the dogs of the Shetland Sheepdog breed should not be let loose without a fence or leash or they will chase small animals and even cars. If they are not restrained in some way, these dogs could get hurt. Freely running in a fenced backyard is fine just not out in the open. These dogs are fantastic with kids.
Quick Overview of Health Issues
The dogs of this breed may encounter health issues like epilepsy, hypothyroidism and skin allergies. Eye malformations or other eye diseases are also quite common. Many health problems can be avoided by getting a dog that has been bred properly.
Owners also need to regularly check them up with a veterinarian. They must not be overfed, as they will quickly gain weight. Properly cared, they will live for 10 to 15 years.
Grooming
Their topcoats are straight, long and water repellent. The topcoat protects the dog from weather. They have a furry, short and quite dense undercoat to keep them warm. They shed twice, in autumn and spring. Daily brushing and raking is recommended. They don't need to frequent baths, in order to avoid removing the natural oils from their coats.
The sheltie dogs are wonderful family pets. Check out some breeders to see if it fits with you.

The director’s grab-bag of visual effects are still bold and unabashed, if often over-the-top, and the actors sti… |
