A Sheltie Primer: FAQ’s
The Shetland Sheepdog is one of the most beautiful, smart, friendly, loyal, loving (and sometimes quirky!) dog breed. Shelties are very human-oriented, making them a very good choice for a family dog. If you socialize them early, they can be great with kids and unlike some herding dogs with a strong drive to work, they don’t need constant stimulation. They can be happy living in an apartment or condo as long as there is some daily exercise and affection. Shelties are very adaptable to a wide range of lifestyles.
