Shelties are very kind, very intelligent, intelligent dogs. We had a Sheltie, unfortunately - his health was poor. He passed away last year. We miss him very much. It feels like a part of our soul and heart is leaving with our beloved dog.
I've a 12 week old Sheltie and he is such a delightful and lively dog. We're having fun learning and he is an excellent student. Up next is Puppy School. Hopefully Agility is in his future as he loves to run and jump. My sister had a Sheltie for 13 years and he was a wonderful dog. That's how I fell in love with this beautiful breed. They are great dogs.
I brushed my Shelties coat once or twice a week bathed her monthly and had her coat and bushy paws trimmed every two months. Her coat was very easy to maintain and was always shiny thick her entire life to the day she passed at age Eleven from painful Bone Cancer. She was a wonderful dog and companion that I miss terribly. RIP my sweet Wendy girl.
I had a miniature Collie back in the 1940's, he was epileptic and at that time nothing could be done for him and we had to have him put down, he was a neat little guy, he always knew the time I was coming home from school and would always be at the corner of our fenced in yard waiting for me and my sister coming home. On a note about Cancer, I've had 4 Golden Retrievers over the years 3 of which had Cancer, the first dog the Vet wanted to put down as the tumor was in the pelvic area and the Vet told me a tumor in the pelvic area was too difficult to remove and he would never get all the tumor out, so here stands Boomer with his tail wagging like crazy and I'll be damned if he was going to get put down, the Vet gave him a shot that might shrink the tumor a bit but that nothing guaranteed, so then I remember something I read by Linus Pauling a Nobel Prize winner and started giving him massive doses of Vitamin C, 6 - 8000 units three times a day, took him back to the Vet a month later and Walla! No more tumor or Cancer, he lived another 3 years and passed at age 14. My third GR (6 yrs) developed two tumors, one on each side of his body near the rear of the abdominal area, went to the health food store and bought some granular Tumeric (nasty tasting stuff) and mixed it with Honey, those two large tumors were gone in a weeks time, just amazed me because those tumors were big, but then another problem came up, he kept throwing the tumeric and honey up, he just couldn't keep it down, tried Vit C but to no avail and he passed away on me. My present GR gets precautionary treatment, he's 6 years old, I give him every two weeks 4 tablets of "Tumeric For Dogs", one tablet of "Black Seed Oil for Dogs", one tablet of "Calcium with Vit D3 for Dogs" and he chews all this stuff up like it was Candy, I still have an Ace in the hole for cancer, one is Brazilian Sour Honey, another is "PROPOLIS" both of these are Cancer KIllers, now I'm not sure what they will do for Bone Cancer as that's some serious stuff. Now there's way more to my story but that would be another long long paragraph. More and more Dogs are getting Cancer these days and even as early as age 3. No I'm not a Vet, I have a distain for the medical profession, I have healed my own aneurism and claudication of my legs with amino acids and have never had any surgeries in my 81 years on this planet. I'am not a medical professional and never played one on TV.
@Boomer1941 Thank You Sir for your information. My Sheltie started limping in October 2020 and all the Vets thought she had a pulled tendon, ligament whatever. She cried at night in pain and I finally was able to get her a MRI that found tumors in her shoulder and neck. At this time Vet gave her one or two weeks. She was suffering so much I had her put down December 2020 four days after Christmas which was the worst ever. It's been two years and I am finally ready to look for another Sheltie to share my life with.
We had sheltie for years we use to breed them there so beautiful we miss ours the last female passed 3 years ago now we have Pomeranian and chi,s
Good information! They travel well and enjoy going on adventures.

Shelties are the only breed for me. Have had 8 over my lifetime and rescued most. Please make sure to have ultrasounds done once they reach 5! Gallbladder disease 🦠 s very common in this breed! Some flea medication can make them 9x more likely to develop it.
I was just going to post this. We lost our boy to gallbladder mucocele rupture last April (a month before his 11th birthday) and still cry everyday. We have talked to other sheltie owners and it seems increasingly common. Wish we had known to start doing the ultrasounds early. I know they are doing studies on this too. He was on Nexguard Spectra every summer (the expensive flea/tick/heartguard med you get from the vet), as per her insistence. We've had 2 shelties but are nervous to get another as while both were very well bred from championship lines & fed the best of the best, both had issues with gallbladder, bladder, kidneys etc. I know they can't live forever, but it's still so heartbreaking when they don't reach their full life expectancy. They are such beautiful, spirited dogs. I keep looking at sheltie videos since our loss and my heart squeezes every time.
@@Kristin2885 How old was your dog and what were the signs of gallbladder rupture?
@@theangel5416 He was 10 (nearly 11). He had been medically managed after a gallbladder mucocele was found during an ultrasound a year earlier for something unrelated. It's a cocktail of expensive meds to try to get the sludge moving, including medicated food with ultrasounds every couple of months. Our vet was inexperienced with this disease and seemed to think medical management would be fine, but we wish we had opted for surgery. When it ruptured, his abdomen got very swollen and he didn't want food and vomited once. We took him for diagnostics to try to do emergency surgery, but they also detected some cancerous spots on his liver and spleen in addition to the rupture and said he was no longer a candidate. Too many things wrong. Broke our hearts. If we get another sheltie we will do the elective maintenance ultrasounds when the dog gets older and opt for gallbladder removal right away if it's sludgy, rather than medical management. It just seems like delaying the inevitable.
DOG is GOD in fur 💕❤😁
Have you put out a video on adopting a Morki ?
Look at how viscious they look. If that dog bit you you would be in the hospital for weeks. It could take on a pitbull.
