The Sheltie developed in the
Shetland Islands as a hardy working dog, an alert guard dog, and
an intelligent, affectionate companion. The Sheltie generally
resembles a Collie in miniature. His colour can be sable
(ranging from light golden brown to a dark mahogany), black and
blue merle, with varying amounts of white and/or tan. His most
outstanding characteristic is his unique temperament. He has an
intense desire to please and an enormous capacity for love and
affection. The Sheltie is exceptionally trainable and
responsive, characteristics which make him an ideal companion
and an outstanding worker in obedience and agility.
