The detail
A small herding dog from the Shetland Islands, bred to move sheep and poultry and to bark at intruders, so it is bright, sensitive and vocal. Devoted to its family and quick to train, the Sheltie fits smaller homes that can handle the coat.
What to weigh
Shelties bark a lot and are easily startled, so they are not ideal for close neighbors. The coat sheds heavily and mats behind the ears without regular brushing, and some are shy with strangers.
