Shetland Sheepdog Behavior
Shetland Sheepdogs are energetic and loyal, which make them good companionship animals. Their high intelligence also makes them easily trainable. They are considered to be one of the smartest breeds of dog. Shetland Sheepdogs are loving and affectionate to their family, but they can be skittish around strangers. Shetland Sheepdogs seek to stay active by chasing things. For their own safety, they must not be allowed to roam free near roads as they are likely to chase after moving cars.Dog Breed Info Center: Shetland Sheepdog -
