    Shelties Are Highly Intelligent

    I agree wholeheartedly-- Tex is so smart it's scary. Once he wandered in my room so I pointed at the door and said "leave please" and he turned and walked right out. I never taught him to do that! This is really silly but once I was talking to someone and I said "chaos theory" and Tex wheels...

    What has your sheltie destroyed/chewed so far?

    Oh goodness where do I start... Tex's favorite thing is underwear. He's chewed about $150 worth or more I'd say... He also chewed a hole in the downstairs couch, a gamecube controller, The edge of the kitchen wall, stuffed animals, bras, stray pencils, shoelaces, and I could keep going...

    Reinforcing the "come" command

    My sheltie Tex is extremely smart, but he is quite stubborn! Because of this, he isn't reliable at coming when called. He will come when I whistle sometimes, but other times he'll just stand there and look at me (with the most defiant look in his eyes...). Does anyone have tips on teaching him...

    Size

    My Tex is a little over a year and is already 17 in (if I measured correctly...) and about 26 lbs. Big boy. I don't know why he's heavy because he's not fat at all, but he is pretty muscular.

    Hello fellow Sheltie addicts

    Well his color is just color-headed white sable, and I just tacked "yearling" on the end to denote that he's a year old. He's not a sable and white merle; his color is sable but with lots of white (color-headed). Thanks, I think he's quite beautiful myself :)

    Hello fellow Sheltie addicts

    Hey Y'all, Greetings from GA! I'm the proud owner of Tex, a color-headed white sable yearling. Tex has an unusual but lovable personality; he's too smart for his own good and dead serious about everything, even playing... Here are some pictures of Texarkana (as I call him)...
