We had a sheltie and though we loved him dearly, I would not have another one. He really didn't like anyone but my son and me. Not even my grown children and husband. He REALLY didn't like children. He did shed quite a lot. Was a very picky eater. He seemed to always be a nervous type dog.
All of these traits got worse as he got older. He got kind of mean. He never actually bit anyone, but he sure acted like he was going to. Meter readers, etc, were afraid of him. Even my grown children who he had been around all of his life said he acted like he wanted to bite them when they drove up. |
