RAISING YOUR SHELTIE ...

Pick up your Sheltie, and look closely: you are standing at the beginning of a great adventure. Everything your new dog is to become starts now . The length of your dog's life will be influenced by three factors: genetics, nutrition and care. While the genetics your breeder worked very hard in producing are determined at conception, you still have a great deal of influence on the length and quality of your new pet's life in many other ways. Give them excellent nutrition, veterinary care and training and your Sheltie will develop to be a healthy, happy dog, a faithful companion, and in many cases the pet of a lifetime. Knowing a few basic facts about Sheltie behavior and how to care for them will help you establish a good relationship. So take time now to learn about caring for your new family member and how to make your home safe for them. This will help make the transition easy on your Sheltie and on the rest of their new family.
