Hello,
We just brought home a petite female Sheltie named Daisy. She is four months old and has made herself right at home. We have another small dog and two cats, but Daisy has asserted herself really well. Even our picky Persian is now relaxed around her. I have to relearn training since it has been a while since I trained a puppy, but she has a very easygoing personality and is willing to listen.
I have really enjoyed reading some of the threads on this site, and I am so grateful to have a resource for my questions. Daisy's ears were glued by the breeder, but they are no longer. They look great now, but after perusing other threads it sounds like we may want to reglue them at some point.
I have also enjoyed reading about the mischievous Sheltie personality. Already Daisy is testing us. She loves to sneak off with one of my slippers. She also stole some laundry I was folding, parading it through the house like a trophy. She is just so darn cute, I have to remember to set clear boundaries.
Oh, and I have to mention her bark. She was so quiet, we figured she would never bark. Then she made a little throaty sound one day, and I thought, well, she's finding her voice. The next day she let out a cute, little bark. Just one, that was it. I hear Shelties can be big barkers, so we'll have to see how that develops. We don't want her to be too vocal.
I'm still learning how to navigate this site, or I would include a photo of her. I'll post one when I figure it out.
Looking forward to learning about all things Sheltie!
