SHELTIE QUOTE
Shelties characteristically make affectionate and intelligent pets, bonding strongly to their primary
person(s). They are also usually excellent household watchdogs, and those raised with children generally become fine family dogs. Possessed of a powerful instinct to please, Shelties are sensitive and respond best to gentle but consistent handling and training. Around strangers, the breed is often described as reserved, although some of today's Shelties greet strangers with enthusiasm. If relatively few still display the timidity which was an early fault in the breed, the type described by the older (and English) Sheltie books as content to sit home by the hearth, grateful for only an afternoon's leisurely stroll, is also scarcer than it once was.
