Breed All About It - Shetland Sheepdog

By admin · Monday, December 15th, 2008

The Shetland sheepdog was created to herd small
sheep in the Shetland Islands. Today, Shelties can strut their stuff in the show
ring rather than around the corral. This intelligent breed has a trademark bark
to ward off danger.

Shelties bark, it …
Shelties bark, it is part of their character. Want a quiet dog - get a collie they pace but don’t bark much. Nothing is like a sheltie. Mine have lived up to 17 years old and this at a fairly healthy state of mind. maybe acts older a bit slower but no major illness.

They’re great dogs for children. They even sometimes try to herd them (or any other person really). When I was very small, my sheltie used to never let me out of her sight.

my sheltie barks at everyone that enters - unless they are children - but she will stop after about 10 seconds if she sees that I am ok with the guest.

it would bark at almost any stranger coming into the house, invited or not. of course thats goes for my two shelties but everydog is different i guess but whenever we have company we have to keep the dogs in a seperate room. they’re not violent just loud
