Amazing Sheltie does his cool tricks

Bailey, my sheltie, two days before he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He was almost 9 years old, and we lost him to stage V lymphoma. We miss you Bailey!

***For those of you who aren't reading all the comments I've already written about Bailey's voice, HE WAS DEBARKED BEFORE WE GOT HIM. We did not make his voice like that. ***

The video response posted is of our new sheltie puppy, Piper. She's only 16 weeks old, and it was her second day home.

I so sorry for your loss.....I notice he was bigger then a normal sheltie size, just like ours Nigel. He was about 36-38lbs most of his life. But we two lost Nigel to cancer in May. We were lucky though because he was 16 1/2 years-old. I think about him everyday.

@The98corvette Thank you for your kind words. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your Nigel. It's never easy to let them go. It's been almost a year since Bailey passed, and we still cry over him. How wonderful that you had Nigel for over 16 years! Lucky for you and your family!

Yes, Bailey was oversized at 18" at the shoulders. He weighed between 23-28lbs.

How wonderful! Thanks for letting me know. Bailey is a perfect name for a sheltie IMHO! :)

My condolences on the loss of your Shetland Sheepdog. My Sheltie soul mate died in September, and I miss him beyond words. (Unfortunately, I don't have any videos of him.)

He's a sweetheart, he makes me want one just like him. :) Shelties have it all...looks, personality, intelligence! But the debarking seems wrong.. I once had a neighbor call Child Services on me because when my kids were little, they got excited and made noise playing in the yard while she was nursing a vodka hangover. Whatever happened to trying to be a decent human being? Barking dogs, kids, the teenager down the street practicing drums...SO WHAT? Live and let live.

@BowieSalvatore shelties can be taught to do anything or not to do anything, Bailey is only barking about his tricks and talking to him mom. We taught our sheltie to go get a toy, whenever she would get the urge to bark at fire trucks or motor cycles, or other loud things, they want to tell us something is wrong, so when she makes the first yip, I say get your toy, no bark and she does it immediately. she knows her toys by name, and her bunny toys are never chewed or ripped, as she loves bunnys

I have a sheltie named Jessie, and she is only 3, she got ill recently and we thought we might lose her, we think we have solved the problem, we think it is an allergy to pork. she was on steriods for a few months and I have just weined her off them, the poor dog had to pee ever 30 seconds and eat like 4 horses. I couldn't see her living like this, so I slowly took her off. the problem she was having has not returned. I was in tears for weeks. I will hate it if I lose her,bailey was perfect.
