There are only rough collies and smooth collies. Some people call shetland sheepdogs minature collies, but they aren't.
It depends on the sex of the dog. A male Shetland pawprint is pretty much the identical to that of the Abyssinian Otterhound, although slightly more palatetic in nature. A female's is similar, although it often contains a distal curve in the fourth digit, which many consider to resemble the print of young Oaf Spaniel.
The population of Shetland was 21,988 in 2001.The population was last checked in 2001.The population is now around 23,000

"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
Like any other horse or pony, one. Or...if you're lucky....she COULD have twins!! (rare) ;)
Shetland ponies, like all equine typically can only have one foal at a time, however they can have twins and triplets. Multiple births in equines are quite rare and can cause problems with both the mare and the foals.
