Hi guys, I had two lovely replies back from two breeders :) One said that it sounded like I'd done lots of research and that that was fantasric but sadly she wasn't looking to breed in the forseeable future, but if she does change her mind she will get in touch with me :) She gave me lots...

I will definitely be keeping an open mind! I don't really mind which sex I end up with! But I do think I have a preference for 'snugglers' hehe. Colour wise, I love them all! I keep trying to decide which is my favourite, but I physically can't! I hopefully won't be too difficult to please...

I just emailed a breeder who seems lovely and genuinely concerned about the welfare and quality of home that her shelties go to! i told her about myself, the lifestyle, when I would be looking to welcomea new member of the family into my life and why I liked her as a breeder. I haven't asked...

By the sounds of it then it is a boy that would probably be more what I'm after, personality wise! Though I bet I will end up falling for a female now, hehe. I do love lovey dovey, kissy dogs, so a male probably will be who I set my heart on when looking at puppies :smile2:

Thank you for the advice :) That's rgeat about the house training not taking long! I know house training problems would irritate my dad/boyfriend if they couldn't be trained to tell us when they need to go/ gowhen we take them outside. I'm glad the time issue doesn't seem to be too much of...

I won't be moving out of my parents house until my boyfriend and I can afford a house deposit to put down on a home we fully own with a mortage :) So we won't have to worry about not being able to take the dog with us, as anwyhere we buy will allow dogs :) And yes, you are right, I live in...

Thank you so much for the welcome guys! :) Haha, flattery will get you everywhere I believe, especially with shelties it seems! :wink2:

Thanks guys :) It sounds like it's a largely positive response, which is really reassuring and I'm really pleased about :D Thank you for your reply and your honest anwers, I do appreciate that :) One thing that I would hope, is that the dog would be used to not having people around 24/7...

Thank you so much for your reply, it has certainly reassured me! I did think that as it will be a slightly older dog when I do move it would hopefully not be so much of a problem! I'm quite keen ion the idea of a slightly older puppy as well, as you mentioned. I heard that the longer they...

For the first few years my mum will be at home during the afternoons whilst I am at uni and then when I am at work :) So he will be left for a few hours in the morning before someone gets back. Then when I move out the dog would be left all day, but I'm interestred in getting a dog walker to...

O he's absolutely beautiful! So glad you found one :) I'm just starting on my sheltie journey with research at the moment, buthopefully I'll be in your position next year!

Thank you so much for all your replies. I really do appreciate that! Hehe, I actually stumbled across the Trini Gilmore article a few days ago. I liked it and found it useful. I'm glad that so many of you think that the environment that I would potentially be bringing a sheltie into would...

Hi everyone, I currently do not own a Sheltie but am doing lots of research into them at the moment! I am looking into getting my own dog (although as a family we have always had them) next June/July 2012. I want to make sure I've looked at all everything and haven't jumped into it...

Hi everyone! My name is Ruth and I live in the UK :) I currently do not own a sheltie but am researching them at the moment. I've always admired them as they are utterly beautiful dogs and they seem to have such sweet natures! I've been admiring all the photos on here and my gosh, they...
