The Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie)
THE SHETLAND SHEEPDOG (SHELTIE) UNIQUE ORIGIN: Shelties, as they are affectionately called, hail from the rugged Shetland Islands, which lie between Scotland and Norway. These islands are also home to the Shetland Ponies and Shetland Sheep, all diminutive animals. Shetland Sheepdogs were bred by crossing the Border Collie, the rough Collie, and various other breeds. By 1700, the Sheltie was completely developed. They were developed to herd the sheep flocks of the Shetland Islands, and also to protect them from birds of prey, such as eagles. You can still catch Shelties chasing birds. Today, the Sheltie is one of the most popular dogs in America. PERSONALITY: Shetland Sheepdogs are hardy, loyal, obedient, gentle, loving, and extremely trainable. They are incredibly intelligent, ranking 6th out of 132 different dog breeds according to Dr. Stanley Coren, an animal intelligence expert, which means that they understand new commands with less than 5 repetitions and obey first commands 95% of the time. This dog needs a job with plenty of exercise or else they might invent their own entertainment. They are also very in tune to their owner’s thoughts and moods. Shelties are devoted family pets and are especially fond of children. They love attention and love to learn. They thrive in an environment where they’re given playtime, training, and loving attention. They will love you in return tenfold. APPEARANCE: Shelties usually weigh between 12 to 18 pounds and stand approximately 12 to 15 inches tall. Their build is trim with a light frame. They are incredibly beautiful dogs and are known for their beautiful coat. -

These recommendations are established as a voluntary standard for members and as a guide for non‐members. CONDUCT GENERAL Members of the ABCA have an obligation to put the welfare of the breed above personal gain and refrain from activities that would be detrimental to the best interests of the breed, the individual dogs, and the ABCA. STANDARD OF CARE Dogs should be provided with all nutrition, exercise, socialization, vaccinations, de‐worming, external parasite control, and appropriate veterinary treatment necessary to provide optimal mental and physical well being. EDUCATION Breeders should educate themselves with regard to known health problems within the breed and should understand the principles of genetics and know how to apply them. HEALTH RESEARCH Members are encouraged to participate in and support health studies for the breed. ADVERTISING Advertising of puppies, adults or stud service should be honest and not in any way misrepresentative, fraudulent, or misleading. CONTRACTS Written contracts are strongly recommended for all transactions such as sales, guarantees, co‐ownerships, breeding rights agreements, female leases, stud services, etc. BREEDING PRACTICES QUALITY The Border Collie stands alone in its exceptional ability to work livestock. That is the purpose for which the breed was developed, and the ABCA defines the breed by this working ability. The main goal of any Border ABCA_Best_Practices_Sep2015.docx September 2015 Page 1 of 4 ABCA Code of Ethics and Best Practices Collie breeder should be to produce sound, useful, working dogs. -
