The Shetland Sheepdog bears resemblance to the rough Collie.  Strong, nimble and lightly built, the “Sheltie” is a fast runner and can jump well.  Sheltie puppies are beguiling and exhibit a desire to please from a very young age.  Intuitive and responsive to their owner’s wishes, they make a charming family pet.  Take care that they are not startled, teased or left alone as they can be barky when excited or lonely.
