What a timely warning. I gues you really forget everything with that Wii. Look out Niagara Falls - we're about to be out numbered and outsmarted by a Sheltie Nation of our own. These people have NO clue what they're getting themselves into!! I get the "Look, it's a little Lassie!"Poor little Ozzie!!
And this is reason number 1, 382, 347, 275, 936, 830 why I abolutely dislike video games! LOL
I know how that is!! When I was waiting to bring Caliber home the breeder had warned me that I would become very "protective" of the breeds name, and I always said nawww, it's just a misunderstanding to people who are uninformed...I'm sure it won't bother me! So, uh, yeah - I was wrong. I find I'm ALWAYS correcting people. At least 95% of the time! When he was 10 weeks, I had some guy approach me on the street saying how cute he was and such, and then he goes "But uh...he's a LITTLE to young to be wheened tho, don't you think?" I replied with a short and powerful "No, he's 10 weeks.", when he said "Well, that's a really small dog...he's a Collie, right?" hahahahahahaha!! I was like "No, he's actually a Sheltie", he continued with his less then knowledgeable ability to take this new information in and replied with "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh, so a minature collie!!!!" lol I then said "No....a SHELTIE.....a Shetland Sheepdog - they're two totally different breeds." He then smiled and walked away. haha This happens often, as there aren't many Shelties in our area - altho I have seen a few in the last month or so.......maybe I started a new trend! Go Shelties Go!!
The best compliment I got for Max was from a guy who went to Texas A&M.. Their Mascot is a Collie named "Reveille". They have had Collie mascots since the late 30's. But the 2nd Reveille was a Sheltie. The guy told me he would have been proud for Max to be a "Reveille".
