I would not trade her for the world, not anything. Shelties are so very smart, loyal, loving, sweet, sensitive to you and your emotions, funny, spunky, playful, etc... etc... Just wonderful.

I have had many different pets, many types of dogs, but she was absolutely by far the best choice I have ever made in my life when it comes to a pet. I know that if anything were ever to happen to her, it would just about kill me. She is my baby.

I know that whenever she does finally die, which hopefully won't be for at least another 7-8 years, I will either do without a pet, or it will be another Sheltie. They are just really and truly special animals and I can't say enough good about them. They are one of the very smartest of all dog breeds, noted by many, many owners, breeders, trainers, etc... In my own opinion, they are the very best!

Sooo, anyway.... I am wondering if anyone here has a Sheltie, or if you have ever had a Sheltie?

Do you share my love for the Shetland Sheepdog, AKA Sheltie, or do you not like them? If you don't like Shelties, please tell me why? I would love to hear from you on this. Tell us the good/bad/whatever... I would just appreciate it if you speak from your own PERSONAL EXPERIENCE of owning one.

Thanks!
