I have a sheltie/lab cross and she is beautiful small like the sheltie but golden like the lab. I find she is more for the adults than the children though but I do not know if this is the characteristic of the sheltie or the lab. She is a very good watch dog and can hear people coming even is they are a few houses down which causes alot of barking it can be bothersome but my husband works nights and I have a hearing problem so she is great for me. She lives in the window just watching. She loves to be loved but like a said by adults , she is fond of our own kids because she is use to them but does not like to be bothered by other kids she will usually go to her kennel if they bother her to much. It took her a while to warm up to our yorkipoo, Nelly, but now they just love to play. We also have a terrier mix and if you can find one like him at a shelter you would be so lucky, he does not bark, he loves to be cuddled and is great with everyone and is not that big either, he only weighs about 20 pounds and he is almost 14 years old. The only problem is I do not know what his mix is because he was at the shelter but I will post a picture of him and of the sheltie and of course, Nelly our new member to the family. |
