Shelties :: Shetland Sheepdogs

It's that time of the year when mosquitoes start making an appearance and people need to make sure that they are giving heartworm preventative.

It's get toward that time of year when all the nasties come out. Make sure to have your dog heartworm tested and start appropriate preventative. It's also time to get Frontline, Advantix, Advantage for flea & ticks.

Nico will be 3 years old tomorrow :)!

I have put Roxi on California Natural...she seems to like it much better than anything else i have tried. The Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lover Soul did not go over well with her.

Just thought i would share the pictures! I hope i did this right, if not i will try again! Thanks for all your... more

I have read so many things on the internet already and my head is swimming. Does anyone have a good way to potty train a pup? I really don't like the idea of a crate, but that seems to be one of the prominent ideas. I have heard about getting a pop can and filling it will pennies and shaking it when the dog... more

I was looking at all your comments, and i don't think there was ever an answer to what was the best puppy food for a sheltie! I am about to get my puppy, so i was looking around to find out. Where do you get Iam’s at anyways? Only a vet or petsmart store? Thanks- Ashley

Nico's favorite toy is a cat toy called DaBird. It's a wand toy with feathers and he goes nuts chasing it.
