Is your sheltie hyper or laid back? I am thinking of getting a dog again, after many years with just a cat.
What I need is a nice toy or miniature hound dog...blue tick or red bone. You know, the ones that you see just barely moving. I know there is not such a toy dog, though. LOL
I never have before, but I am getting a little nervous when home alone overnight, even though I do have my arms. I need a good natured watch dog.
Shelties are really good dogs .. are very easy to train and are very loyal to their owners .. but yes they do like to run outside and boy can they run really fast. *L*
Kelli is VERY protective of the kids and watches over them like a hawk
Shelties also are not found of strangers ... Kelli doesn't attack anyone .. but she will warn you to back off *L*
