The Shetland Sheepdog
- 24/11/2010
The Shetland Sheepdogs, like the Shetland Ponies and the Shetland Cattle, have been a part of the history of the Shetland Islands for as long as anyone can remember. They are in most respects a miniaturized version of the Collie, possessing extraordinary beauty and unique character. The "Sheltie" is a dog with a herding history of many years, their job was of course to herd the sheep and goats and work closely with the farmers. When they were brought to England's mainland before World War I, the little dog rose to overnight popularity . By 1909 the British Kennel Club had accepted them into their registry.
