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.

Vermont is a very dog-friendly state, where you can find artist Stephen Huneck’s Dog Mountain. Dog Mountain is more than a dog park—it’s a public art gallery, a monument dogs living and gone, and a joyful active experience. There are plenty of activities available to owners and pets throughout the state. Take a jaunt along the Dog-Friendly Beer Trail of Vermont and try a cold glass of what ails you while your dog makes friends with the staff. From hiking trails to pet-friendly lodgings and campsites, you and your dog are sure to feel welcome almost wherever you go in the Green Mountain State.
