This breed was once known as the Shetland Collie, but after much confusion with Border Collies, the name was transformed to Shetland Sheepdog. This breed is known for its majestic figure and long fur, and its gentle and reserved personality. They are strong dogs with bounds of energy for play and herding of animals. Shelties are best raised in open land where they can run freely. They make for great family dogs and also perfect companions for older couples. They live to about 13 years of age and weigh anywhere from 15 to 30 lbs.

It’s possible that nearly all of those early dogs were replaced by European-bred species after the 17th century, except for the coyote—a member of the dog family!
