I don't know if I replied to this and it ate it or if it has to be aproved or i didnt hit submit but... here goes.. Thanks! he's doing great we cold not be happier. He has attitude in that if I am walking him and take too long to talk to someone he will bark and whine to keep walking and...

thanks all :D He's super sweet. He's mouthy but has pretty good control of his mouth and if he gets us too hard we put him away from us for a time-out and he responds pretty well to that and seems to "get it". I've taught him a few commands, he's a bit demanding about playing or if I walk him...

We wound up with a bi-blue from Jade Mist and we ADORE him! My daughter named him Albus Dumbledog because of how gray he is. She originally wanted to name him Apollo but when she saw him she just immediately said Albus which was not even a name we had discussed, it seemed to just match him. Like...

Beautiful!! :D

we are switching breeders so now we do not know when we will get a puppy. The new breeder has 4 week olds, newborns and some due soon so there will be loads to choose from. ANXIOUS MUCH?? :D

If it will "sometimes tip" you may still have a chance, and you can keep the other one tipping also!!! Google it, some people use glue and some use tape with glue, japanese tape is popular. On my first sheltie back in 1994 I went to a tractor supply store and put on "bag balm" which is something...

After putting a deposit down on a puppy and loosing it because I decided not to get the dog, and talking to various other breeders I have finally made a very nice connection with Carol at Jade Mist Sheltie's and we will hopefully be getting a puppy this summer. Please show me your Jade Mist...

Hello everyone, we are expecting a puppy in June if all goes well. I have paid the deposit :) We've asked for a boy though I will take a girl if thats all thats left (I'm #4 on the list to get a puppy and she has two pregnant for sure, maybe a 3rd). I am crossing my fingers there are 4 puppies...

Thank you, I feel so terrible about it.

bi-black! :D

we went camping once and it was the only time our dog ever tried to run away from us. He shot straight into the woods he was NOT interested in that fire! Any type scared him. We nver had a fireplace, that might be nice to raise a puppy to b a litle less afraid but I think its a natural fear and...

Thank you.

my sheltie in his old age would go crazy at his crate when i zipped it shut, as I zipped it he would do this crazy aggressive thing and push his face into the mesh stuff. It was so out of character for him. I did the treat trick it helped, he would sometimes even go in it on his own but that...

I think it really depends on the particular dog, but the BC's I've met have been much more intense and required much more exercise. A sheltie can get exercise by you sitting in a carpeted room and playing fetch while you watch tv with a soft frisbee. This was so fun, I did it all the time. My...

I was told by my groomer to never actually shave a sheltie as their hair may not grow back properly. the way you described it, about an inch was left so I think you are fine. We did this on purpose to my sheltie a year ago and it was a good thing because of how messy his coat had gotten from my...
