Shetland Sheepdog

The Shetland Sheepdog, commonly known as the Sheltie, is a intelligent, energetic herding breed originating from the Shetland Islands of Scotland. They are medium-sized dogs with a thick, double coat, often in sable, black, or blue merle coloring. Known for their agility and alertness, Shelties excel in obedience and are often used in herding and dog sports. They are loyal, affectionate, and good with families, but require regular mental and physical stimulation. Their keen senses and friendly nature make them excellent companions and watchdogs, blending working instincts with charming personality traits.
