Shelties were originally developed as herding dogs in the Shetland Islands of Scotland and their herding instincts are often apparent even in a more urban setting. In the absence of livestock, Shetland Sheepdogs will happily herd cats, squirrels, and neighborhood children. These small-statured but sturdy canines are particularly devoted to their families and have developed a reputation as Velcro dogs due to their preference for staying as close to their human companions as possible. While Shelties make excellent companion animals, they were bred to be very active dogs. They require a great deal of physical and mental exercise throughout their lives in order to remain happy and healthy. Fortunately, they are also extremely intelligent and can excel in many different roles, including those of canine athlete, show dog, animal actor, or therapy/service animal. In these pages, you will find all of the information you need to ensure that your curious and clever pup grows into a confident, content, and well-mannered canine companion. Choosing a Shetland Sheepdog for your canine companion means you will always have an energetic and loyal cohort to share your adventures with, but if you aren’t careful, he may very well outsmart you. This book covers every aspect of owning a Sheltie, from choosing the perfect canine companion for your home to making your precious pooch’s senior years shine.

Today, they retain strong instincts for herding and hyper-vigilance, as well as being eager and highly trainable. They’re an agile and active breed, yet unlike many working Collies, their small size means they don’t seek to run around all day long. Shelties are quite happy with an hour of off-leash exercise, then home to snuggle up with the family as loyal and affectionate lap dogs. Sophisticated, playful, and idiosyncratic, Shelties excel in many roles: as service dogs, in the show ring, in agility, and as photogenic canine actors. They’re the sixth smartest dog breed on the planet, capable of learning hundreds of words, responding to facial expressions, and even social gestures like pointing (a skill that’s beyond chimpanzees). Armed with this inside information on Sheltie intelligence, you can teach your dog how to play hide-and-seek, perform amazing tricks, and even categorize and tidy her toys. Shelties: The Complete Pet Owner’s Guide is a labor of love, detailing every aspect of caring for your pet from puppyhood to old age. Enjoyed by new Sheltie adopters and long-time fans alike, you’ll revel in the 140+ gorgeous Sheltie photos from pet owners all over the world, while following the story of Casale’s own two English Shelties, Howard and Piper.
