The Shetland Sheepdog is a people-loving breed that gets along with just about anyone. However, that special someone better be ready for a vocal companion because the only thing these dogs love more than people is barking. If you can keep the noise under control, Shelties could be the perfect family pup.

Child-friendliness

Although they’re watchful around strangers, Shetland Sheepdogs are very sociable with children, other dogs, and pets. They’re small enough to live in apartments or townhomes, but beware of their barking. Because of their barking habits and high energy level, Shelties are best suited for homes where they have plenty of room to play and can bark without disturbing the neighbors.

The Shetland Sheepdog has a long, wiry outer coat and short, soft undercoat. These dogs are usually sable, black and tan with white markings, black and white, or blue and black. Shelties do a good job of keeping themselves clean, but they need to be brushed and bathed regularly. They shed a lot, so be sure to brush them a few times each week and give them a bath once a month or every other month.

The Shetland Sheepdog needs to get out, work, and learn, but they can adapt to a more low-key lifestyle if needed. These dogs are happiest when they get to spend time with their families and play outside a few times each day. They’re also quite good at dog sports and are known to do especially well with agility.
