The Sheltie is an amazing dog, whose photos only confirm its beauty and good nature.
The breed's homeland is the Shetland Islands, in northeastern Scotland, where the dog was used to manage flocks.
She was not suitable for protection due to her small size and loving temperament.
Over time, representatives of the breed, miniature copies of the collie, began to be kept as pets.
According to the standard, the optimal height of a male is up to 37 cm, and for a female – up to 35.5 cm.
Permitted colors include:
- marble blue;
- black and white;
- golden-black;
- sable.
Their combinations are also allowed.
Dogs are extremely intelligent and quick-witted, but stubborn.
Shelties are artistic creatures, so they love public attention.
Today, you can only buy a purebred puppy from professional breeders.
