Shetland Sheepdog
Shetland Sheepdogs (15-25 pounds) are intelligent, gentle, and agile, ideal for active families. They’re excellent with kids but may herd toddlers. Moderate exercise (1-2 hours daily, herding or agility) suits them; their long coat needs frequent brushing.
Feed 1-1.5 cups daily of Royal Canin Small Adult Dry Dog Food, with 25% protein for their energy and coat health. Monitor portions to avoid obesity. Suited for both indoor and outdoor living with yards, they adapt to apartments with exercise.
Training curbs barking. Perfect for engaged households, Shelties thrive with activity and grooming, not for low-energy or urban-only homes.
