I have had both shelties and Aussies in the past. Both breeds are smart, love to ‘herd’ and and very loyal to their famlies. I miss having a dog around...alas Mr C4E is allergic to dogs.

We got our first Sheltie when son was 4 yr. old, he is now 15. We had to “train” both of them. He’d take off running to get something out of his room or whatever across the family room and whooooosh there went Smokey right on his heels. So we’d have to tell son not to go running and sometimes would hold Smokey while son ran and told him to stay. It eventually worked out. Fun to watch. haha For sure.
