*Sheltie Puppy* Tri Color Sheltie Puppy Sable Color Sheltie Puppy	Contrary to popular belief, Shelties are NOT miniature Collies. Though they share a similar history and come from the same region, they are two separate breeds. Shelties are devoted to their families but should be wary of strangers. Once you have a Sheltie’s trust, you have a buddy for life. If properly socialized around children, Shelties can make excellent family dogs. However, being herding dogs, they have a chase drive and must learn what they can and cannot go after. If not, your children could become their flock. Shelties enjoy activity and a well-behaved child and well-trained dog can entertain each other quite well - with proper adult supervision of course! The Shetland sheepdog, or Sheltie as they're more commonly known, originated in the Shetland Islands just off the coast of Scotland. The breed (originally known as "toonies") was developed in the early 1800's when it was found that a smaller dog that could herd sheep on the rugged island terrain was needed. The shepherd required absolute obedience from their dog and this herding instinct is still evident in the modern day Sheltie who will usually stay close to its owner. The heeling trait is useful for if the dog slips its collar it will generally return to its owner when it is called. Indeed one of the major benefits of this gentle breed is that they are extremely easy to control. The herding instinct is still very strong in many of them. They love to chase things. Teach this dog not to chase cars. 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. Because of its beauty and kindness, the Sheltie has become a popular companion dog. The life expectancy of a sheltie is about About 12-15 years. *Sable Color Sheltie Puppy*	*Jackie Boley* Crescent Moon Shelties Location Old Saybrook CT Puppies Available - Yes AKC . UKC .

Important Points When Chooses a Breeder Does the breeder keep the dogs indoors or outdoors? Early socialization is KEY in this breed. And it's pretty hard to socialize Shelties properly if they are in an outdoor kennel. If Sheltie puppies are not socialized properly, you will have trouble down the road with shyness and fear. Puppies raised "on a farm" usually means the pups were raised in a barn. (alone) A good breeder will often have the puppy pen right in the kitchen or family room.....where the people are. A responsible breeder would never breed a dog with a bad temperament. Look at the environment in the breeder's home; is it clean and do all the dogs look well cared for ? Always meet the breeder where the puppies are being raised, so you can be sure the puppies are being well cared for by the beeder. Does the breeder ask YOU a lot of questions ? Do you have to fill out an application for the breeder with a lot of questions about you and your family ? Does this breeder care where her / his puppies are going ? Ask for a copy of the sales contract BEFORE you actually make the purchase. A responsible breeder will always include a clause asking for the dog back if you are ever forced to give it up.
