We were definitely in Puppy heaven when we went to pick up our Shetland Sheepdog puppy.
There were 8 puppies: Sable, TriColor, Blue Merle and even a special little all grey one!
Our pick of the litter was the smallest female puppy, but she was the most energetic and feisiest one out of the pack!
Check out the video of the puppies playing, running and wrestling.
Which one would you pick?
Do you have a favorite puppy, like an Aussie puppy, Border collie puppy?
Lot's of people mistake a Sheltie (Shetland Sheepdog) as a Collie puppy, even when the Sheltie is an adult! Also the Blue Merles can be mistaken for a Aussie, or a Sable mistaken for one of the most popular dogs ever... Lassie! But a puppy Lassie of course!
The bicolor Shelties also have a close resemblance to a Border collie.
Many years ago, the Shelties were bred for the Shetland Islands, a cold damp misty climate, hence the 2 coats needed to keep them warm. The Sheltie is a descendant of small specimens of the Scottish Collie and the King Charles Spaniel (much like an Icelandic Sheepdog) and once brought to mainland Britain in the 20th century, a Rough Collie (Lassie) was added to the breed stock helping develop the modern look of the breed today.
Shelties are extremely intelligent, learn tricks and commands very quickly. Usually within about 5 times of repeatedly showing them the same task. They are extremely loyal and will tend to "herd" you and your family, always keeping an eye where everyone is. They are known to be like your shadow!
