I have a Sheltia and she just loves to play fetch but she wont bring the ball back. also she likes hurdles and running around like a lunatic.
eat, sleep, run, jump, go for walks, chase rabbits, roll in stuff, and of course PLAY
They can be. This is a trait that is avoided by breeders but nonetheless some shelties are simply timid creatures.
Shelties come in: Sable Blue Merle Tri Color Bi-Blue Bi-Black Shaded Sable Double Merle - double merle is when two blue merle shelties mate and there baby comes out mostly white. Those shelties are bound to be either deaf or blind. It's sad. :(
They bite.
usually year round but mostly in spring
No, nobody should hate any dog.
Between 14-20 Years
You can get a sheltie from a breeder, shelter, or rescue organization. Never buy dogs from pet stores. Himark Shelties is a good place if you want a sheltie for AKC conformation, agility, or obedience.
A sheltie will probably be decent with children. I wouldn't expect one to bite a child. However, shelties do not like to get stepped on or pulled on and children tend to have that horrible habit. Shelties have also been known to try to "herd" kids, although I've never seen it myself.
mine cost $800 but i got him from a breeder
yes they will as long as it was plain popcorn
Yes - like people ^^ There are the shelties which don't grow much bigger than dogs but some horse breeds can grow to be 17 hands and more.
Yes shelties shed a lot! but some shelties like mine don't shed that much at all. but do not shave your sheltie it is very bad for them because since they are from a cold place when the sun hits there skin it burns them.
