Breed Information

 

Shetland Sheepdogs, also known as “Shelties,” are herding dogs known for their keen intelligence, stunning looks, and boundless energy. Shelties, who are often referred to as “miniature collies” due to their resemblance to their larger cousins, have fluffy coats and perky ears that are sure to turn heads on the street. They’re small in size but big in personality and are known for their sweet, affectionate, and gentle natures, making them popular among families with children. Shelties are also known for their incredible work ethic — they excel in agility, obedience, and herding competitions — but are also playful, loyal, and love nothing more than spending time with their human families.

   At Rosie Sheltie Home, our passion for Shelties drives everything we do. Founded by a team of dedicated dog lovers, we are committed to providing a nurturing and loving environment for Shelties in need.

   At Rosie Sheltie Home, we take pride in the health and happiness of our Shelties. Each and every dog is given the best care, and is well-socialized from day one. Our puppies are raised in our home, along with our dogs and cats, helping produce well adjusted temperaments for their fur-ever homes. They spend their day chewing on bones, playing with toys, or just following us around… what a life! If you are considering purchasing a Shetland Sheepdog puppy, you’ve come to the right place! Both as a young child and as an adult, Shelties have always been our favorite dog breed. It is fulfilling for us to provide families with their next forever pet, that excel in all areas: herding, agility, and loyalty. Home raised and well socialized, all Sheltie Puppy Paradise puppies come with a 1-year genetic health guarantee.
