The most amazing doggies ever! My G-Pa had one from puppy all the way till he passed at 13 years old. They were the best of friends. His name was Teddy ❤️❤️❤️
We had our Max 2000-2015. A gentle soul and family member. He was a present for our son's 9th birthday. He became the de facto pet for all my son's friends that did not have pets. I have to note that one mark against the breed I see mentioned often is barking. Maybe we were the exception, but Max was quiet as a mouse. Rarely barked for any reason.
Mine just passed away 1 month ago. I found him dead in his bed when I woke up one morning. I am heart broken and miss him so much. He was a great dog, very loyal and well behaved.
I know the pain of losing a sheltie. My rescue sheltie was 13 years old when he had to be put down due to him running into things more often and was constantly coughing. May your Sheltie rest in peace
I'm currently enjoying #6&7 Grape Nehi (blue Merle)& Q-tip(double Merle), my first was Princess and WELL TRAINED all of my others knew basic commands and some tricks; I now just enjoy their company, they have never been wrong on judging the character of anyone that visited my house. I was lucky enough to rescue Sheeba a Sharbull a lover and people always watched her when Grape Nehi was on guard, miss them all
❤️ my Sheltie beyond words! This video is ok, but I've seen better explanations of the breed, their pros & cons. Still, an ok video & possibly useful for someone interested in learning more about the breed.
What amazes me--I've owned this breed for over 30 years, is how the shows are run. Same for most breeds by the way. Recently I went to one of the largest all breed shows in Long Beach CA. What strikes you, right off the cuff, is that next to ZERO is done for the public. NO hand-outs, and when you see a water dispenser--not for YOU, for the show people. ONE, small place for the public to buy water and maybe a hot dog/hamburger. And where do you sit? Those nice chairs under the canopy? NOPE, that is for the show people--YOU, and your Grandma with bad knees--stand, or sit on the group and then, only if you can find a spot. And dog show people wonder why the public stays away, THEY set those things up for THEM, and so next to ZIP for the public. Chairs? Bring your own, want to sit out of the sun--bring your own umbrella, want to get a drink--bring you own, most won't even sell it to you, or provide a drink of water. So, you tend to stay away, which is seemingly what they want, so hey you show people--have at it.
I know. I've been to only two dog shows, and the place expects you to have your own chairs. You couldn't even sit on the nice chairs due to them always being reserved for the show people. The place expects you to sit on squeaky bleachers or on the floor if you're desperate to sit.
The rough collie is about twice the size of a Sheltie, if you see em standing next to each other it is very clear. You might mistake a Rough Collie PUP, for a Shetland, but even that, I doubt.
Also the 'sheltie' is a lot faster and agile than the Rough Collie. The Sheltie is incredibily smart and learns things very quickly. But they need plenty of exercise and are not lap dogs.
They enjoy really long walks and mostly running but they can survive with a long walk just once in a while. But if you don't give them lots of exercise you need to give them plenty of brain exercise because they're really smart and get frustrated easily. But they are also perfect couch potatoes :3
Basicallly, don't get a Sheltie... Actually, you can train them early to bark, and then train them no bark. If you make it clear early on that barking is not good behavior, they can be much quieter. I let mine go off his rocker at the dog park, etc though.
I have when of those dogs he's 1 year old and his name is snuggles because when my mom was little she a collie named snuggles and her bus driver ran over it
Great breed, but absolutely HATE show breeders. My last Shetland Sheepdog came from a show breeder and he had Cushing's Disease and Patellar Luxation. Breeder offered to take the dog back, euthanize it and give me another puppy! Horrible! Never get your dog from a show breeder.
I call bs on that, although your situation seems the exception. Most show dogs are from well respected lines, and many if not all of them have had thorough screenings through the generations for breed specific issues. As always buyer beware, check papers, and lineage and have a good vet check upon taking ownership.
The 'Shetlie' is from the Shetland Isles and has a thick warm coat because of his origins and place he came from. They are herding dogs and extremely intelligent. They need plenty of grooming because of their thick fur. They also need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.
@@janettewhitchurch5118 Far as I read, Shelties were originally cross bred with Scandinavian ship dogs. After the Golden Retreiver came about with much aclaim, its alleged the Shetland folks interbred the Sheltie with Collies to create their own 'Shetland' breed of dog to match Dudley Marjoribanks, the first Lord Tweedmouth of Inverness-shire, and to sell to tourists which the Shetland Isle were a well known vacation stop. While many probably were used for herding, there isn't a lot of evidence that I've read that indicates the common Sheltie we now recognize was the same as that used in mid 1800's Scotland.Not sure there is much evidence of them being part border collie either, though is quite possible there is some BC in their history.

I really love Shetlands sheepdog they are so creative and social🥰
And they have lots and lots and lots of energy. It’s fun to play frisbee with them.
@@thepethui it sounds funny but my dog is spoiled so he does not want to do anything but compete in agility

I love my shelties have had many! I wouldn’t have any other breed. They’re my babies!
That’s awesome, I’ve never had one. I grew up with labradors. Maybe one day I’ll get a Shetland Sheep Dog, and some sheep ha ha
Sweet and beautiful thats the Sheltie
Mine just passed away 1 month ago. I found him dead in his bed when I woke up one morning. I am heart broken and miss him so much. He was a great dog, very loyal and well behaved.

Double merle can be blind or deaf or both

ANY secrets on getting your Sheltie to allow you to brush them my year old Sheltie will NOT let me brush him????

I have trouble telling rough collies and shetlands apart ? the long snout and upright ears and similar coat lenghts

very good video
How long i must go out ?

What is the best method to discipline for barking?
Basicallly, don't get a Sheltie... Actually, you can train them early to bark, and then train them no bark. If you make it clear early on that barking is not good behavior, they can be much quieter. I let mine go off his rocker at the dog park, etc though.
Turn down the friggin music so we can actually hear the people being interviewed SMH
I have when of those dogs he's 1 year old and his name is snuggles because when my mom was little she a collie named snuggles and her bus driver ran over it

so all the breeders are the same? no!

Breeding two dogs of the same colour is no problem except for merle dogs. Those should never be bred together
so many susans
Can't believe this bs. They clearly don't know anything about the breed. Or history of it.
