I saw a purebred sheltie at the local petstore and our breeder told us that purebreds arent supposed to be sold at local petstores because they are A.K.C (American Kennel Club) registered.
I actually have not tried her in that yet, but I did start training in rally obedience when she graduated from all of her classes...and she is great at it! We were planning to try her in agiliy though so im glad she has what is needed! thanks!
I sure second that! We have had the miniature sheltie breed now since the late 60's and we have our 4th one now and for us there is no other breed. Loving, placid, smart, fun and loyal beyond. The fun of the routine in the sheltie is neat too and then of course the never ending shadow right by your side. Ok the bark is a bit much at times and well we all know about grooming to avoid mass shedding periods, but hey, I'm bias, there is no other breed for me.
The best thing to do is research the breed, but here are a few facts: They're highly intellegent, easily trained, need daily activity, are loyal, good watchdogs, bark a lot, need lots of grooming, shed, great family dogs, need to be close to their humans, are good w/other pets if raised around them, need to be socialized at early age, are small to medium in size, are good workers. Consider sheltie rescue. So many great dogs in shelters will love to have you! You won't regret a sheltie!
Not trying to scare you but be careful on a springy or soft surface if the dog has drank a lot of water and bounces they can flip there stomach and will die, my sisters dog was on a soft foam bed and in the back of a truck camper going over a rough road and there dog flipped his stomach and died. Please talk to you vet about what i just wrote, i wouldn't want any thing bad to happen to your little puppy.
Hi, glad to hear Laci got good training, that's great! When I watched this video I saw a pup doing a lot of typical sheltie behaviors, herding, jumping up on and biting at the girl. The girl was reinforcing it like crazy, and the pup preferred it to chasing the ball, which is a better outlet for shelties herding instinct. Often I see these behaviors turn into problems when the dog becomes an adolescent from 6 to 9 mos. old, and clothing is being torn, etc. But sounds like you did right by Laci!
Okay! thank you for your concern:D i appreciate it..and laci is currently about 9 months, and she does great about not chewing things she isnt supposed to:D she is a great dog, and i see your point in me reinforcing her biting..lol..but she absolutly loves her ball, so that is good:D
Sweet ! The child and pup are both gorgeous. I have raised shelties too. But the child is reinforcing all kinds of bad behaviors in the pup. And the Mom is reinforcing all kinds of bad behaviors in the child. But hell yeah, they are cute and fun. I'm a dog trainer and will anwer any questions in exchange for you reading my critique. Tail wags from Liz
What bad behaviors? Laci was young when we did this, and now she has graduated from all 3 obedience classes, and got her graduation certificuit(she would have passed the cgctc test, but she didnt pass one part, and we're working on that.)..and is very well trained.. she hardly gets on the tramp now, and when she does, it is for play...what behavior does this teach them?
So cute. I love it!

I've noticed that shelties don't go for balls like many other breeds; they prefer to play with people.
