Hello,
I am new to this forum and I am so excited to be apart of it!
I have had Sunny since March of 2010 and she is currently 6 months old. I hope to breed her when she is old enough and get some tips on my lil girls future.
Right now I am working on her "come." I have already taken her to puppy class and she passed, she just has trouble coming to me when she is preoccupied with all kinds of distractions. Any tips?

Also, when does a Sheltie's coat fully grow in?

Amanda and Sunny:smile2:
 
Welcome!
I read the other day something like it can take 3-5 years before their full coat comes in, my sheltie is about 2 1/2 and she's getting there but not full yet.
 
Welcome to you and Sunny!

A sheltie's adult coat can come in at varying times. It really depends on your dog's pedigree. You could ask Sunny's breeder about when others in her line matured. Most people say around 2-3 years old, but some mature faster, and others slower.
 
Welcome to Sheltie Nation & forums! As some have said it really depends on your dogs lineage.Some mature faster than others.I would ask your breeder about the lines in her dogs,as she will be your best source for advice.

Well I guess I'm next in line to ask for pictures! :biggrin2:

But if not,many folks use other sources,like shutterfly(very good & easy),photobucket...(lots of pop up ads),flicker,etc.

Good to have you here~
 
Welcome to you both! Can't wait to see pics of your little one.

I have two shelties. One from a local breeder who had a beatiful full coat at a year. The other is a rescue who at 17 months has nowhere near the fullness of coat. Like the others said, it depends on their lineage. It will come in time, just be patient!
