What are shetland sheepdogs?
"The Shetland Sheepdog, often known as the Sheltie and sometimes as the Shetland Collie, is a breed of dog in the pastoral dog group, resembling a miniature Rough Collie. Shelties are intelligent, family-orientated dogs that can be as happy in an apartment in a city as in a house in the country. They have a thick double coat that can come in many different colors and patterns. They are vocal dogs, with few health problems; among those they are prone to are hip dysplasia and thyroid problems. They are very good house and family dogs. They are very protective and good with children if properly socialized with them as a puppy. Despite its name the Shetland Sheepdog is only remotely connected with the original herding dog of the Shetland Isles, instead deriving mainly from a mixture of the Rough Collie with several toy breeds."- Wikipedia.com

What are facts about Shetland Sheepdogs?
Brush out the dog's coat, every day if possible, to remove tangles and mats from the undercoat. Use pin brushes, slicker brushes, natural bristle brushes and metal combs alternately, depending upon the state of the coat and the number of mats. Apply a mist of water before you begin to help de-tangle the fur and only use the metal comb when necessary. De-mat the dog's coat by using a splitter or mat rake for significantly bad tangles. Applying detangling spray before brushing out the coat may make it less painful for your Shetland Sheepdog. Keep the hair on the head trimmed close and short. From all angles the head of the Shetland Sheepdog should look like a wedge angling in from ears to nose. Use a moist piece of soft cotton cloth to remove dirt and grime that can collect in the corners of the Shetland Sheepdog's eyes. Trim the coat as needed with scissors to keep the body looking as symmetrical as possible. This is a distinct look of any collie, and no part of the animal should look out of place with the rest of the body.
