Dog breeds: Shetland SheepdogThe Shetland Sheepdog, also called the Sheltie, is a British herding dog that looks a lot like a small Collie. They are often confused with Collies and are mistakenly called 'Lassie Dogs' but they are a breed of their own. They stand between 13 and 16 inches tall and they weigh between 14 and 16 pounds. They have a long outer coat and a short dense undercoat. Their coat colors come in tri-colored, sable, black and white, black and tan, and blue merle color variations. This dog is smart, active, and affectionate. They make a great pet for families with children as they can be very tolerant of kids of all ages. This breed is known for being very intuitive and often picks up one obedience training very quickly and easily. It is important to give lots of supervision, though, as their active intelligence can sometimes get them into trouble. The Sheltie today is great for agility and obedience competitions and seems to be able to pick up just about whatever you want to teach them. Keep them active and mentally stimulated and that will go along way with keeping them obedient and mild mannered.
