Our sheltie was born in January 2011. We brought her home at almost 18wks. The breeder was a well respected sheltie breeder, and even to my inexperienced eyes, I can tell that the dog has been socialized pretty well. We are a complete newbie dog owner, and I am glad that I bought my dog from a...

This morning we had a severe thunderstorm watch in my area. Usually, I count the seconds between lightning flash and thunderclap. Greater than few seconds means the lightning is miles away and I'll be okay to go outside. But this morning, we had a thunderstorm where lightning and thunder were...

We too, are trying to switch to another brand (my wife got an idea that holistic food is good). I am mixing little bit (25% + 75%) at this time. Sometimes she'll finish the bowl. Sometimes she will nibble a few bites and stop. Can I make her hungry enough (I won't use starve - ppl get upset...

Yes "EEVEE" is the name of a Pokemon. Ask any child who's into Pokemon what "EEVEE" is, they'll tell you it's one of the best Pokemon there is.... "It's a specialty pokemon that can evolve into 7 different types" - according to my daughter. I have two children who took away my freedom long...

EEVEE Breeder was keeping this puppy (and another one from the same litter) for her show potential. Then this pooch was getting a bit on the bigger side. So she decided to sell it, and I moved in quickly to retrieve her :winkgrin: Breeder showed me the dog's pedigree paper. Lots of...

There is a small local "dog bakery" where the owner has a rescued 7yr old sheltie in the shop all the time. it's a beautiful blue merle female. In the past week, we went there several times with Eevee. They sniff each other's butt for few minutes, and they are just happy together. No real...

It's been a week since I brought my 5mo. old female puppy home. She was completely silent for the first few days. I understand that everything was sooooo new to her, so she was probably a bit reserved. But I can tell that she is not timid or shy. She likes visitors (wags tail, approaches them...

Hello all, After months and months of research and study, we finally brought home a puppy few days ago. She is a 4 mo. old sable. My daughter picked a name "EEVEE", which is one of the Pokemon name. That "EEVEE" pokemon *kindda* looks like a sable sheltie. She slept most of the 4 hour drive...

I've asked some stupid/controversial questions on this forum before, but it was all along the course of my study and getting to know of the breed and the world of dog fancy. :smile2: So after months and months of search and research, I finally brought home a sheltie puppy few days ago...

No I'm not interested in buying a dog from out of state. It's already hard enough to weed through the breeder list to find a good one locally. Unless i've personally met them in a competition or something, I would not consider getting a dog from someone far away. I just wanted to know how...

What is the longest flight you've done with your dog (sheltie or others) as a checked bag or under-the-seat bag? I have close to a million miles on my frequent flyer program.... Well I fly frequently because of my job. But I have NEVER encountered anyone flying with their dog under the seat...

No. I DON"T have to have the dog right now. I am not in a hurry to get one. I can wait for another months and months, but I don't want to bring in a puppy in time for christmas, you know what I mean? I live in an area that can get 3 feet of snow, and the books have told me not to bring in a...

@Silaria, Yes I already have contacted CISSC months ago. That was the first place I contacted. Most breeders I got referred to from that organization, has no puppies for sale, nor planned until next year. Among the list, there was a breeder who told me, the waiting list is 3 years and cost...

One of the breeder (had AKC breeder of merit banner on his website) whom I've been in contact with, when asked how much his puppy would cost, answered me; "I can't tell you yet. If they turn out to be a show dog quality, then it'll be $1800. If they are not, then it'll be $1000 for female...

Before y'all say to me "you must have your life full of lies, why you being so suspicious etc" I hope you kinda get where I'm coming from. I'm genuinely asking this question, out of pure good will and care for the dogs. Initially, I was open for a rescue adoption. At one stage I seriously...
