mine was born grey in the face. he's a merle tho :lol:

i used to know a sheltie named tumbleweed. i thought that was a cute name :lol:

i am all for dog sports, but it sounds like they use live rats for this event, and i find that troubling... what happens to the rats after the event is over?

just an observation: i recently had a chance to see some of the (now grown up) siblings of my own sheltie. same litter, bred and raised and owned by the same person. so the genetics and environment were the same. the dogs are *very* different. one (my dog's sister) was very friendly and...

I've already forwarded this to the Seattle Purebred Dog Rescue. Posting here as well in case anyone can/wants to try to help. Thanks. ----- > I don't know this person personally; I saw this on a Sheltie blog I read. They are trying to get their friend's Sheltie out > of an...

mom said he was adopted the first day he was available :) she also told me that there is a rescue that particularly looks for older dogs that took the older sheltie in.

Rafa has a home! @sunchaser thanks for the offer :) i contacted him and he said that rafa has found a home, and thanked us for our concern :)

i always used to slicker the whole body (brush along the grain of the fur on the body) before using the pin brush on the body (with the pin brush, do a line-brushing). the only place you slicker against the grain of the hair is on the feet (and that's mainly to pull up the fur between the toes...

bloodlines and upbringing definitely has more to do with temperment than color does. i had a sable that was off-the-walls insane, but she was raised by someone else to the age of 2 and she was never trained or socialized. (she basically grew up under a rock so to speak...) i had a black...
