I'm guessing it just depends on each individual dog. Some shelties fetch, some don't, some are sensitive, some aren't. Mine is more sensitive to sound than smell (unless food is involved). Case in point, there is a huge brush fire in the mountains a few miles north of me and I can see the...

Actually, I've been told Shelties don't fetch either so I thought mine was defective because that's all he wants to do...he drops toys in my lap so I can throw them and we repeat this until I have to go to work or my arm gets tired. I forgot where I read that you can buy one of the JW Hol-Ee...

I have tons of pictures to share! :) Thanks for the warm welcome and here he is in all his fluffiness: Black Friday Weekend: [URL="http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d164/rollypanda/IMG_4840.jpg"] With "big brother": [URL="http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d164/rollypanda/IMG_4764.jpg"] Through...

HELLO! I seem to have skipped a step and forgot to introduce myself. :) My name is Vivian and I am a very proud pet parent to my little Blue Merle Sheltie named Sullivan (Sully) who is 8 months old and to a naughty Westie named Finnegan. I am so eternally grateful for an awesome forum...

My breeder actually recommended getting a martingale collar because shelties can back out of regular collars. I didn't listen and just got a regular snap collar and yes he has backed out of it twice but I've been very fortunate that he just sat there and stared at me until I called him back to...

I'm not sure if there's really a toy Sully won't play with, though he has his favorites like this fox with no stuffing but has a squeaker (got it at Petsmart), squeaky things in general, the Starmark Bob-a-Lot, and Kongs (even if nothing is in it). But his absolute favorite toy? Whatever my...

My Sheltie fortunately hasn't had any allergies yet but my Westie does and he had some pretty bad scabbing and a bit of itching. I switched him to Nature's Variety Limited Ingredient Diet which would put me out of house and home if he was a big dog but he eats less than a cup a day so I'll...

That first picture of Alfie looks almost exactly like what Sully has going on right now! Hopefully Sully will be just as gorgeous and he gets older. :)

Thank you for all the replies, glad to see I'm not the only one and it should straighten out a little when it gets longer! Though his breeder did mention that Sully's dad didn't have a particularly long coat so we shall see how that turns out. Mr D looks absolutely beautiful! I can't wait for...

Hi everyone! Sorry if this has been posted before, I tried a search and couldn't find the answer to what I was looking for. My Sheltie puppy is 7 months old, I've had him since he was 11 weeks and I got him from a breeder. When I got him his coat was going in one direction, did this strange...
