	Shetland Sheepdog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Shetland Sheepdog (or Sheltie) is a breed of dog, originally bred to be small sheep dogs ideally suited for the terrain of the Shetland Islands.
		Shelties are loving, loyal, and affectionate with their family, but are naturally aloof with strangers and might not appreciate being petted by someone they do not know; for this reason Shelties must be socialized extensively.
		Shelties' ears are required to bend slightly or "tip" at the top to be qualified to show in AKC shows.

		The Sheltie is known to not allow themselves to be touched by strangers and will display noisy persistent barking.
		The Sheltie is above all an intelligent herder, capable both of commanding large cattle and holding small sheep in check.
		A Sheltie should not be allowed to run free near a road as it may decide to chase a car or something else it sees across the road, running a high risk of getting hit by a car.

	Sheltie Roundtable
		Sheltie's also tend to have fragile digestive systems which is all the more reason to stay with a steady diet.
		Shelties were bred for quick response to external stimuli, either negative or positive - as we all know - and this trait is just manifesting itself in your particular dog more than most.
		Our Sheltie's rear right leg is paralyzed, and although it has only been 5 days since her accident, she is getting some function back to it; however, it is very slow.

		Correct sheltie character and temperament is tantamount in regard to the breed standard.
		If you feel the judge did not measure your sheltie correctly then you must make your intentions known to the judge while the dog is still in the ring and you do have the right to appeal their measurement to the AKC.

	Dog Owner's Guide Profile: The Shetland Sheepdog
		The Sheltie head is a long, blunt wedge, not as narrow as that of the Collie, with a definite stop (the step up from the muzzle to the top of the skull) which is less defined in the Collie.
		In addition, the Sheltie is not as refined for its size as the larger dog; just as a magnified Shetland pony would resemble a heavy draft horse rather than a riding or riding horse, so a proportionally enlarged Sheltie would be heftier than a modern Collie.
		Shelties are susceptible to progressive retinal atrophy and Collie eye anomaly, two eye diseases that cause blindness.

		When fl Shelties have a coppery cast to their coat, this is called "rusting." Rusting (which is often aggravated by exposure to the sun) is faulted in the show ring, but in no way affects a Sheltie's value as a pet or performance dog (e.g.
