A whole flock of Shelties!

I'm not sure what term you should use for a bunch of shelties, but I think 'flock' works well, and that is what I encountered last Thursday.

We were snowbound here and had been called out to look at a sheep with a limp (not one of ours, belongs to the church). After wrestling a fat sheep covered in snow and ending up soaked through I was not a terribly happy bunny!

So what a treat to stumble out of the field and see an old couple coming down the path with not one, not two... but five gorgeous shelties! Each in a different coloured dog coat.

Four were sables and one was a handsome blue merle (and if you don't know by now that is my favourite colour :wink2:) well of course I had to go make friends and the blue merle rather took to me, I gave him a fuss and when they all moved on he stayed behind briefly - I was in love!

What a good way to end a rubbish morning! I hope I meet them again because I did not get a chance to ask where they got them from or even if they bred them themselves.
 
What a great way to get cheered up !!

I bet you want to meet up with them again ! I love Blue Merle's too I Miss mine I would someday hope to find one and be able to afford to adopt her.:cool:
 
That must have been something to see. There's nothing more fun than a whole group of shelties.

We're going to Sadie's breeder's home for a get together this Saturaday and I'm so excited. At least one of Ginny's littermates will be there also. I can't wait to see all of the shelties together! All together there will be 5-6 shelties. :smile2:

btw, I think the word you were looking for was 'Pack,' but flock seems to work too, when there's a whole bunch of woolly shelties together. :biggrin2:
 
Well, I hope I bump into the 'flock' again. They were all so gorgeous. I did suggest I could borrow one to help with the sheep, the lady laughed and said she didn't think they would know what to do with them!

I whole flock...sounds like a dream! Except when they all decide to bark at the same time :lol:

I can only imagine! My ONE Sheltie drives me crazy sometimes with the barking (at random most of the time!) but she makes one HECK of a guard dog for when someone comes up to the door!
 
Lol Mike, you should try my road, little dogs with big attitude aplenty! The neighbours' terrier goes for a walk each morning with another terrier and they make so much noise it sounds like they are killing each other! And then there is the Shih Tzu across the road that barks, barks, barks, barks, barks! Or the JRT x chihuahua that also goes on and on and on.

Yep, a sheltie would hardly be noticed down here! :lol:
 
:biggrin2: There's nothing lovlier than taking a walk with my flock -- four swirling sable Shelties racing up the hill!
 
while I may not have seen a "flock" of shelties, during my lunch break I saw someone walking a blue merle sheltie. It's very rare to see a sheltie in Manhattan. I was so excited. She was adorable. Very calm too.
