I love Shelties! We had one when we were first married 25 years ago. He was one of the best dogs we ever had.

Thanks guys. We had these 4 and lost two of them earlier this year. Lacy was almost 16 yrs old and Callie was 9 and we lost both of them within 2 months of each other It'll be nice to have another puppy running around

That's how I am. I love them all. Cats though I prefer to not have in my house. My daughter is allergic and I can't stand the litter box smell. So far we've had dogs, birds, cats(lived with in laws), iguanas, bearded dragon, anoles, ball python, hermit crabs, hamsters and fish.

Aww. Congrats. Can't wait to see more pics. I love Shelties. My family has always had them. Grew up with one named Pilgrim from the time I was 2 til I was 12. And then we got Rose who we bred one time and we kept one pup Malcolm and my Aunt took another Victor. Sadly she passed away 4 years ago.
Now Malcolm is my sisters dog and lives with my sister, Aunt, his brother and my Aunts other Sheltie Bridget in CA. Malcolm and Victor will be 13 in Feb, it's sad to think how old they are getting. Poor Malcolm has been having a rough time going though "Old Dog Syndrome" as the vet called it. But he's on the mend.

Grats Heather!!

 

[Jadie]

ugh, i want! they have such character in their faces!

 

[~~WINDAQUA~~]

OMG!!! I have been looking into what kind of puppy I want to adopt and this was one of them! Can you guys tell me more about yours? It would be very helpful! Also, where are you adopting yours Heather?

 

[piercesdesigns]

I used to be very active in sheltie rescue. I can tell you the reasons people turn them in.

Too much grooming

Too barky

Too hyper

Try to herd children

Will chase cars if given the chance

I love them, barkiness and all. They are awesome pets, but definitely need a person who is willing to be firm and obedience train.
