Kinda sad, a sheltie is dumber than a POODLE......:lol: And on this note, I'm out! I'm gone!

This is the EXACT reason I decided not to get a sheltie, people on here are absolutely rude. Not everybody feels the same way about stuff. If you want your ivory towers and your golden laid trophies go for it but some of us want to be able to do with our dogs what we want for the love of the breed.

Also, my dog, whether I paid for it or if it was given to me, they aren't an investment, they are a companion. They are living creatures.

Well wouldn't it be better for some of these "free" dogs to go to good homes instead? Just because they aren't registered doesn't mean they don't deserve a good home.

On that level of thinking, I think I'd just get a FREE non-registered puppy. :)

Like some said, it's probably the temperature. The dog is really hot and the water is really cold and it makes them sick. I've dont alot of manual labor as a kid outside in the summer working for a vet and if it was too cold and I had been working long enough drinking too much water made me sick...

Just in case I ever decided too. I mainly want to do agility. I grew up with all kinds of herding/working dogs, Border Collies are my by far favorite breed and the registries are alot different. Some registries the parents HAVE to do either work/agility/show for the puppies to be registered. So...

Which type of collies are you referring to as stupid? It's been proven multiple times that Border Collies are #1 in intelligence. I've had Border Collies for most of my life and can tell you that they can learn things on their own that you wouldn't think a dog could learn. Plus I've never met a...

Is it hard to find full registered puppies? $700 to $500 is alot to spend for something you don't have exactly full rights on.

How common is this?

Price can greatly vary by area too. I keep snakes too, and I was wanting a Sunglow Boa and up north they sell $700+ but I found a breeder in the next town and got mine for $400 (same goes when buying animals, I checked the actually building that they kept all their animals at and things were...

I emailed the only breeder in my state that shows on the ASSA website and am waiting a reply to see how much they sell them for. Also already planeed to go to the next AKC show that comes to my city hoping to maybe make some good contacts or leads for a good pup. I'm glad I found out about the...

Thanks to everyone for your replies! I plan on wanting to do agility as well as it being my companion. I have seen on some breeders websites where they want you to sign a agreement that if you buy it for a companion dog that you aren't supposed to breed your dog, is this a common practice?

I have had a few border collies throughout my life and they have to be the smartest dog alive but from my research into think about getting a sheltie for size suggest that they are extremely intelligent. I love all herding dogs and anything like a collie or a sheltie are super smart. But one...
