Shetland Sheepdog

A Shetland Sheepdog is a small herding dog resembling a miniature Rough Collie, originally bred in the Shetland Islands of Scotland.
Known for their long double coat, pointed muzzle, and alert expression, they are intelligent and trainable: Our Sheltie learned the agility course in a week.
