I
am a four month old male purebred shetland sheepdog and look forward
to a long career in agility showing. I am full of energy but become very
reserved when asked to relax. I love my family and am especially fond of
Kayce who is eight and is in the third grade. I will do anything for
cookies. I know how to jump, spin and run poles. However, I like to take
short cuts.
Riggs is an outgoing and affectionate puppy who enjoys a lot of
attention. He loves an audience and will go out of his way to make us
laugh. He is very quiet and seldom barks. He will bark when his water
bowl is empty, when he wants to go outside, or when a stranger comes to
our house. He stops when assured that everything will be okay. He is far
from timid and is always ready to try new things. He loves to go outside
when it is snowing. He knows that he has to have his paws dried before
he leaves the mud room and will grab the towel and prance around for a
few minutes before happily surrendering. He loves to be brushed and can
be found napping during grooming sessions.
We live on a seven acre horse farmette in Springboro, Ohio. We spent
four years investigating various dog breeds and decided that the
Shetland Sheepdog was an excellent match for our family. I contacted a
breeder in Cincinnati, Ohio who was expecting a litter in October.
However, when I visited her establishment to make a selection, a
three-month-old male entered the room in a prancing manner, looked at me
(I swear he smiled) and then nonchalantly walked on by. He was such a
happy little guy and was so sure of himself. The kind of dog that will
stomp his feet and tell the judge, "Hey, look at me I am something
special." The breeder was not interested in selling but after several
visits and numerous requests, we ended up taking him home in November.
