Thanks again for your comments everyone. I have an update to report. My friend's mother is also interested. We've been communicating through email. She already has a sheltie, who is 9 years old. She actually got her current sheltie from the same breeder as me, and the one she had before as...

Wow, thank you everyone for your comments! I wasn't expecting such a supportive tone. This really help put my feelings in perspective. I will be telling whomever takes him that I will ALWAYS be willing to take him back if something happens/it just doesn't work out. I will also be willing and...

Help please! I need advice, or someone to just hear me out ... I am most likely re-homing my sheltie in the coming weeks, and it's making me really sad, and confused, and I just don't know if I'm doing the right thing. I have a 2 year old sheltie that I got 1 week before finding out I was...

Hi everyone: I'm trying to train my Sheltie to walk along a path. He sort of destroyed the grass in our backyard last summer, so this summer I'd like to train him to walk only along the path in the yard. There's a big deck in the yard that he can hang out on, and a path that leads to the back...

Is it possible to upload a picture form my computer? Or does it have to be online?

Hi everyone. I wanted to post a quick update on Largo's progress. First off, I've taken your advice on not being such uptight with the germs thing. (I don't have OCD, just like to keep things as hygienic as possible.) So, I've been giving him A LOT more attention, petting him when I have the...

Wow, thanks for all great tips everyone! Yes, Largo is neutered. I let him sniff the baby, but I get pretty nervous about him licking him. I'm a bit of a germophobe. Consequently, I pet him less because I don't want to touch the baby after petting Largo without washing my hands (which I can't...

Hi everyone. Let me introduce my situation. I have a 1 year old blue merle sheltie named Largo. We got him when he was 8 weeks old. We first reserved him at the breeders when he was 4 weeks old. Then one week later we found out I was pregnant. We decided to go ahead with getting him because at...

Hi everyone! My husband and I just bought our first puppy! We're both super excited, but I'm a bit unsure about a few things. He will be coming home to us on June 9th. I had been hoping that it could be June 16th, as I have to leave town for work and won't be back till them. But, the...
