I figured this might be a fun way to learn about the breed and bond closer to everyone.

I'll start!

I wish I had known that even a puppy would try and herd me!

...just how wonderful shelties are, sooner

 

[Emmasmom]

Yep - went through that. The herding instinct is just so strong. And did you outrun the pup?

I wish I had known my Sheltie pup would expect me to be a playmate whenever she was awake

 

[Justicemom]

...just how wonderful shelties are, sooner

Yes.

Not sure what else knew about the things that make me slightly nuts before I got one and they were not a bad as I imagined.

I wish I had known that two Shelties are better than one.... Skye was an only dog for 13 years till we got Asta. Of course, if we'd gotten another one sooner, we wouldn't HAVE Asta, so I guess it worked out the way it meant to.

I wish I had known that some Sheltie puppies eat poop before I kissed Layla that day...

 

[Emmasmom]

I wish I had known how much comfort and love they bring when there is more than one - I would have had more than one sooner.

 

[Jaynie]

I wish I had known beforehand what wise and wonderful little souls are contained in those mischievous little heads. And that in the times of greatest pain, sorrow, danger, or weakness in my life having a Sheltie kept me alive and able to try again tomorrow.

I am constantly running!
I wanted a dog, I could go running with not one that chased me to run LOL

I wish I knew... that its hard work being an alpha and not getting soft with his cute antics.
