We were definitely in Puppy heaven when we went to pick up our Shetland Sheepdog puppy.
There were 8 puppies: Sable, Tri-Color, Blue Merle and even a special little all grey one!
Our pick of the litter was the smallest female puppy, but she was the most energetic and feisiest one out of the pack!
Check out the video of the puppies playing, running and wrestling.
Which one would you pick?
Do you have a favorite puppy, like an Aussie puppy, Border collie puppy?
Lot's of people mistake a Sheltie (Shetland Sheepdog) as a Collie puppy, even when the Sheltie is an adult! Also the Blue Merles can be mistaken for a Aussie, or a Sable mistaken for one of the most popular dogs ever... Lassie! But a puppy Lassie of course!
The bi-color Shelties also have a close resemblance to a Border collie.
Many years ago, the Shelties were bred for the Shetland Islands, a cold damp misty climate, hence the 2 coats needed to keep them warm. The Sheltie is a descendant of small specimens of the Scottish Collie and the King Charles Spaniel (much like an Icelandic Sheepdog) and once brought to mainland Britain in the 20th century, a Rough Collie (Lassie) was added to the breed stock helping develop the modern look of the breed today.
Shelties are extremely intelligent, learn tricks and commands very quickly. Usually within about 5 times of repeatedly showing them the same task. They are extremely loyal and will tend to "herd" you and your family, always keeping an eye where everyone is. They are known to be like your shadow!

Once you've had a Sheltie in your family, very few breads can compete with your heart after that experience. But I am certain I am not telling you anything you wouldn't know by now. Very sorry for the loss of your Chloe. And congratulations on your new addition. 5 years since my 3 Shelties have passed. I want another pack, but my heart isn't ready. For now I will live vicariously. Enjoy!
Thanks... you may be surprised if you let a new furball in your life. They can help mend the heart a bit by creating new memories, but reminding us of past great memories too.
how do u avoid separation anxiety
Love this and agree completely!
We rescued a Sheltie and we have been hooked. Our current Sheltie is the sassiest, happiest thing ever!!! Love her so much!
All of the above
Agreed!
I have 2 sheltie, one sable/white the other a blue merle/ white. They are the best dogs!!!
I loved all of them, but the gray one was so unique.
Ollie would have been my choice too! Playful but not as hyper, cute, and adorably small and floofy. The Merle would have been my second choice, stunning. They were all so lovely.
Shelties are my favorite dog. Congrats to you.
Agreed! BEST dogs.
Perfect size... dont need a huge scooper (lol) great for walks (keeps us in shape). And smart! Quick learners.
Beautiful coats. I know they talk about shedding, but my 1st Sheltie did not shed too much... once a year and if you brush, you capture it all and can knit a Sheltie sweater!
I found our first sheltie after 4th of july fireworks escape. Found the owners but was willing to let us adopt him. We are hooked on the breed. We are now parents to shelties 4 and 5. The grey one in this video looks like our Pepper. Our lives are never boring with them and they love our kitties
I’d choose the bi-blue looks the calmest and like it would think everything through and not just bolt into things pigheadedly! If that makes sense x
The blue merle (or if it's a bi-blue, either way the mostly gray one) would be the one I would pick if I was choosing. So adorable. We have a 7 year old bi-blue male.
oh my favorite dog ever, I had a tricolor that lived to be 13 before we lost him from cancer. Koby Carver miss him everyday
Best dog breed! Im a little biased tho..m
@@olliejasper2862 oh I agree i would so get another if I had the money
I lost my Sheltie at age 11 from painful Bone Cancer.
She took a piece of my heart with her.
RIP sweet Wendy girl.
I'm getting a tri end of this month - happy to hear your story, sorry he gained his wings already but what a beautiful time those 13 years I imagine
I love them all but I would of picked the grey one it's adorable and unique
Oh that bi-blue with the gray face. Oh my!
All the Shetland Sheepdog puppies are so cute.
I own 2 rough collies. One passed away in 1993. Then I got my 2nd rough collie in 1994 and he passed away in 2007 from nose cancer.
In 2008, I got my very 1st sheltie. He passed away on July 31, 2020 at the age of 12.5 years weighting 50lbs. He was on Zignature and Wellness, and it was not good for him. I miss him very much.
Sorry to hear that... when you look at a puppy or young dog, they are so healthy, teeth, paws fur... then years pass and time can be tough. As long as they are comfortable and having quality of life.
The standard sables are gorgeous, but the breed is simply marvelous!
The blue Merle 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I love a half but pure mini aussie/sheltie 48 pounds skipped a gen on the mini aussie side with the personality attitude and crossbreed! Best dog ever
Any of them actually. However, I personally prefer the runt. The runts are smaller and smarter (if they live.)
The blue is gorgeous. We started with shelties and now have rough collies. Herders are the best!
Love them all, but the blue grey puppy love the most.
What a ridiculous question, the answer is obvious: all of them. ❤️
I had a sable sheltie, they are so lovable, intelligent, and live to please. My sheltie lived to be eleven years old, and died of kidney failure, and I still miss her! A particular favorite game of my sheltie, was the sock game.
My sable as well, 11 1/2 years and Kidney. Too soon... we had great years together!
I had a large male tri color with a white blaze on his face. Frankly unless there was something real parculuiar with one any would be fine. This is a sweet beautiful and smart breed.
I couldn't pick just one I would pick all of them!! I bought my first Sheltie 2 yrs ago and I love him to pieces..They are so smart and sweet...I am now getting a collie to add to my family..
A Collie and a Sheltie should make 2 great friends!
We’ve always had rough collies. Best dogs ever on every level (except shedding of course, lol).
@@susewambold8175 Oh yes can't forget the shedding but they are worth it !
I love collies but shelties are a more reasonable size for me to walk I'm a small person with not much arm strength
I liked the gray one, she/he had a reserved personality and loved his ear type.
No doubt, the black one and the grey one. They're already playmates, and both are bright and a bit less anxious than the others.
I am picking up my first Sheltie puppy (owned two adult Shelties previously) in 6 weeks - so this gives me an idea what to expect. Gorgeous! I am partial to sables.
Hi from England. I’ve had 3 Shelties, one male and two females. I loved them all dearly and watching this brought back many memories. Thank you for posting. Your little pup is super.
It is quite amazing that when we see a Sheltie in public on a walk how it can rush back memories, or even in videos.
I would pick a brown one!!
I am sorry about the loss of your last Sheltie but congrats on your beautiful new puppy!
My last Sheltie passed away a year ago at the end of this month. She was the runt of the litter but after a few months the vet told me "she's not a runt anymore" LOL I got her at 11 weeks and she lived to be 14 1/2 years old. It's never easy to lose them no matter what age they are. No dog will replace her and I will always be sad that she is gone but we have room in our hearts for another place for another dog to love.
The only thing my last Sheltie went after was our toes and toilet tissue LOL and my Sheltie before that we got at 6 months so we didn't have to do the usual training to stop play biting (that is what it is with puppy's PLAY biting as it's not aggressive but have to be taught to stop before it would become aggressive) so it's been a really tiring experience with this new puppy we got at 8 weeks as she went after ALL OF US LOL to play bite and chew on EVERYTHING. We stopped the play biting but she still wants to chew everything she can get her mouth on so had to take most of her toys away that has strings as she would pull them out and swallow them if we didn't take catch her. Now we have to get her some toys for aggressive chewers lol She is now 7 months old.
Anyone wanting a puppy just make sure you realize all the work that goes with it no matter how smart they are or what breed you get. There is a lot more to it than just them being cute and cuddles and play. Most will chew up your home and you, too, LOL if you don't have the patience to properly train them. It's normal behaviors for puppy's so you will need lots of love and patience 😁🐶💖 and I hope you will love them just as much when they get old, too! Really upsets me when I hear of people that get rid of their dogs just because they got old 😥🐶
Also, I would advise to make sure you read the contracts and agree with it. It took me awhile to find my new puppy and had to drive a ways to get her, too, because I don't agree with some of what some breeders put in contracts! It is okay if you do agree with it! I am just saying make sure you are aware of all the breeders put in it before you go pick them up so you will know if you agree or not. I Have had dogs for 45 years. All before were easily trained so didn't need any training videos for them but this one I have gone through watching a lot of them LOL so just remember what works for one dog might not for another. My puppy is very smart but very stubborn!
Thanks so much for your feedback! Well written and put.
Our furry friends are really members of the family and the loss is never easy. In fact the new pup, makes me think even more about my passed Sheltie, but in a good way... it is work, and they need attention. So be sure the commitment is there...
They live to be 14, rarely much older. Mine did. If you can’t deal with a puppy, contact your state’s Sheltie Rescue to find an appropriate adult. I have done it twice and am waiting again. Of the those I have had, the rescues were by far the most fun. I bought two adults from breeders that were not as accepting of the change. Love, attention, and doing their bidding-that will keep them happy.🤭🤭
Bi blue for me pleased
We had two Shelties. We got Rascal when he was 10 weeks old and Cricket who was 3 years old when we got her. Both were smart, obedient and so sweet. Rascal was almost eleven when he died of congestive heart failure. Cricket was almost 12 when we had to say goodbye when she suffered from extreme arthritis. Poor thing could barely walk. Had a mutt that was a peek-a-poo and then a lab/beagle mix whose legs were so short but had a long torso. Loved them all but Shelties have a special place in my heart because Rascal was our first dog and was less than a year old when our daughter was born. They grew up together and the things she did with and too him! Now we have a Pomeranian. He is sweet, cute and a mind of his own. Enjoy Ollie - she is beautiful - both of you are so fortunate to have found each other!
Thank you so much... yes with Ollie it does seem it was destiny! We will have a blue pomenarian play date soon with my friends dog. Should make for a fun time and I will post a video!
Know Ollie will have a great time with her “POM” friend. Blaney (our pom) does so well with all the pups we meet on our walks and loves being at our neighbor’s home with their 3 babies 2 min pins and a beagle. Look forward to the video!
Normally I would choose a sable, but that special little grey one steals my heart. All of them are so precious and fluffy though! I'm sorry for your loss, and congratulations for your new puppy
I will post in ome of my next videos a pic of the grey and two others the breeder sent me as they are growing!
@@olliejasper2862 Thank you so much, I'd love to see the cuties!! ^w^
Snow in Orange County? Maybe in the mountains? We are in Contra Costa County. We got our sable from a breeder, but he was chosen for us based on what we wanted, which was an outgoing companion animal for a family. He is a monster for a Sheltie at 40 lbs but he is cute and silly. We adopted a one-year old blue merle female who had grown out of spec a little from a breeder that was thinning her kennel to reduce her work load due to having some carpal tunnel issues. For her we wanted an adult that was good with a family and used to being around puppies (our sable was bout 5 months). If I were to get a third I would try for a tri or a bi-blue, but I sort of want a tri. My wife is... well let's I am working on her :D
The snow would be in Canada. We go there for a white Xmas. Always bring our Sheltie...
Your sheltie is 40lbs! Sounds atheltic!
@@olliejasper2862 More like a moose or Charles Barkley of Shelties.
Definately the tri-colored. I've had a collie and Sheltie of that color
They adore people, and are wonderful family pets, gentle with small children.
The Bi-Black puppy is going to grow up beautiful
Well this little girl was worth the drive! What a little whipper snapper. Wishing you years of enjoyment! OMG. having seen all of them, Ollie is the winner, but I'd have left with 5 probably!! Theres nothing like a warm puppy belly and lots of happy wiggles.
Thanks! We chose her ahead of time from a pic. We just knew we wanted a Tri, since our first Sheltie was Sable and we didnt want too similar... we were happy with our choice, although all were great pups, this little damsel, is perfect for us! Small enough for travel to and from Canada, but full of energy and pep to keep us busy! She whips around the house and just discovered the stairs... she runs up and down the stairs. I will post a video of that, although I want to minimize since little bones are still growing!
@@olliejasper2862 I just got done typing and it all erased! Anyway - I love that little Ollie girl! Have you started singing "Good Golly Miss Ollie"? I am always singing to my dog - Rudy and I'm shocked he even knows his name as I call him, Rudy, Roo, Rump - a -roni, etc. He's a Biewer terrier - ya I didn't know what those were when I got him - but figured it was something rare due to his price - but I fell in love with this little monkey. I keep him cut in the puppy cut and he's smart as a whip. He is a big 3 year old now! Cant wait to watch the vids you already put out.... keep them coming. Ollie is a living doll! You got a good one there!!!!!
They are all like pick me pick me! I will pick the gray and white, he seems more grounded but still fun
The grey one :)
I got a border collie named Ollie ,he is a tri colour ,the grey pup was gorgeous as well x Merthyr Tydfil South Wales UK
I would have one of the tri color with the white going up the noise they are great dogs the last one I had for almost 13 years had to have put to sleep had skin cancer bad it broke my heart I miss sparky so much he saved my life more than once the best dog enjoy your shelters
My Sheltie was so gentle and loving !
One of the best pets & smart! Needs to go to the beauty parlor every so often! Worth the little it costs. Loves to play, go for walks, ride in the car (especially if you make a stop at Dairy Queen for a baby cone!)
Dairy Queen!
My previous Sable actually never went to the groomer...
We would brush her and use the spray to help brushing knots... and use the brush that would get the under coat. We would have a mound of hair, could knit a sweatwe! but she always had a beautiful coat!
I would pick the one that came to me. When we went to pick up our sheltie pup (10 years ago now) the breeder had a few litters, so there were like 10 sheltie pups in her van. We were first in line. When the breeder opened the side door one came to us and the rest hid behind her. I recognized him from the photos that we received and, after confirming, picked up Flynn and took him home. He is barking behind me as we speak.
I grew up with Shelties. My mom used to show them, so they have a soft (yet loud) place in my heart. I prefer the classic sable and white with full collar. Todays Shelties are nothing like those I grew up with. The pups I remember didn't have half the coat the ones have nowadays (so much more hair!!!), naturally tipped ears, a more square face/head and generally more robust than the ones now. I see a sheltie now and I think, what the hell did they do to the breed? The merle at 0913 is more in line with what I'd be interested in body wise if I was going to get one. Beautiful happy puppies, and a loud handful.
If they are in a pack, they can egg each other on in being loud. Since I have just Ollie, she is pretty quiet, except for her grunt when she is chasing and frustrated or the occasional bark, when playing.
I love the sable ones too. We lost our lovely boy last year. He was the best dog ever. Still miss him so much.
Collie too used to be much more robust, with fewer instances of collie eye.
We have had 2 but not at the same time and we LOVE them. Thanks for sharing - it really warmed my heart to see these babies and I would take any of them but 1 stood out when the others were jumping up at the fencing and that puppy just sat back and watched them. That would be my pick. ❤
All of them is the fast answer, but the mearle is my favorite. But I'm partial to the different pups. Mine is a color headed white.
Ich hätte mich sofort in den Blue merle verliebt!!!!
They are all just so cute!! Your little once is adorable! I had a Sheltie 20 years ago. He was a wonderful dog! These days
We have a Border... enjoy your beautiful pup!!
the blue merle--I was friends with a blue merle Sheltie. He stole my heart. Loved that dog.
If there’s a heaven this is it
Omg we live in NORCO and raise Shelties. I used to live in NPB and Costa Mesa! Shelties are the best
You breed Shelties?
They are great dogs.. we travel alot, so perfwct aoze for coming on the plane. They are so intelligent!
I'm looking for a mini Aussie female? I used to live in Corona. Do you breed mini's or know someone who does? Tx u
OMG, I love Shelties, where you located in Norco and do you have puppies available now
I' plan on having a sheltie when I have my own house I love the breed size everything so cute
I have two very sweet lovely standard Collies. If I had the space I would care for all of these guys. They are wonderful companions. ❤
I like that little tri-color.
Omg. Cuteness overload!
This was a recommended video and since it was of sheltie puppies, how could I resist? Then I recognized that awesome gray one! We have one of the sables from this litter! Congrats on your new baby! What a small world!
Awesome!
Small worls ir is!
Stay in touch, we will have a Sheltie get together this summer!
What is your Sables name?
This was a recommended video
@@olliejasper2862 His name is Lucca!
That’s like asking which of your children you like best! They are all BEAUTIFUL! Cuteness overload!
Who is the breeder
I am reminded how cute they are as mine is already 15 years old and I really love Prince whom is our family member.
All! 😂 Sorry, but I can' t choose between cute, adorable , sweet and lovely.🤷🏻♀️
O.k. Long time ago I would like adopt a brown- white Collie, like Lassie. But now, I love these Shelties all. Sorry.
Thank you for the heart. I am enjoying this and wish you all the best. Stay healthy.
Oh my gosh her colour is so cute! Love the sheltie gang!
They are all beautiful but I do love the Lassie color
Lassie... is a Sable color... the most popular. They were breed a lomg time ago with a Rough Collie (Lassie) which helped with those colors.
Thay are so cute ❤️ I like them all I have had to sable s shelties my first sheltie wasn't afraid of any thing my second one is so timmed and afraid of everything I do have a tri smooth collie she s amazing I love both breeds even cocker spaniel s and labs and Golden retrievers I want another smooth collie or a rough from the same person or another sheltie or cocker my sheltie is going on nine years old and having some issues not sure how long I will have her
They are the best breed. I have had 2
Yes, this is my 2nd. Love the breed, I would only have Shelties... We will wait 1 year once Ollie is fully trained and think about adding a 2nd to the family from the same breeder.
ohhhhhh - I want one! I so miss my sheltie Sophie! My hubby is in Tucson right now too!
What a cute video thanks for sharing this with us. We are going to get a shetland sheepdog puppy May 8 from the breeder he was born March 5. Can't wait to see more videos! Will be able to pick out my Conner on April 17 from the breeder till then have to do so much to prepare for him to live with me. Picking out a vet and all the stuff that he will need to be healthy and happy!
Are you getting from Tucson?
Banfield is a good vet to use. They have a monthly plan that is very reasonable. You gettinf a bi black or Merle.
All of them!
I also love the white, black, & grey coloured one too, adorable.
They are all so beautiful🥰
I want one❤️
They are beautiful
I have always like this breed
Literally any of them. I had a sable and a color headed white and I adored them both.
What a sweetie, I look forward to seeing her. Shelties are the best, I have a blue merle named Dolly.
I pray they all went to loving homes!!
I would pick the feisty runt of the litter. My first Sheltie was the runt, too, and she was THE BOSS!
This is my dream dog to have in the future! 💗💗
They are so beautiful but I just love the little grey one!
They are so adorable I had a border collie he died February 3rd I miss him he was 11 years old
Border Collies are great! So smart. Ollie with her black and white looks a little border collie.
We lost our 11.5 yr old Sable sheltie Jan 17... very tough.
I would say getting a puppy after a few weeks is good therapy, and eases the pain. But does remind me alot, as the puppy does some of the same things... brings back positve memories.
I love all of them!
i would choose black and white one since its my favorite colors!
They are all so cute! I'm so excited, I will get my Sheltie in three weeks.
Bi blue
I would choose the sable with the widest white stripe on her/his nose
I want the Blue Merle one.
If you had a blue Merle I would take that one
I would go with the bi blue
Send me your email to cruisingtheland@gmail.com and I send you particulars for the breeder.
She are so cute
Aw..... I've had Collies all my life, currently have a sable. Very partial to the only blue... congrats on your puppy!
Grey one
Definitely the gray one it’s so cute 😭✨
WOW!!Stunningly beautiful.
the tri looks just like my baby!
They are all so gorgeous. I want one so bad. Any Sheltie breeders in Ireland north or south give me a shout Haha
Ahh! You are way closer to the origin of the breed then here in the US! A Toonie!
Such great dogs.
I would have picked the first little tri colored 😍
The black and white one in the first cage .
I love them all I would pick the tri color with the white going up the noise looks like the one i just lost had sparky always 13 years he had skin cancer I miss him so much he saved my life a few times it still breaks my heart they are very good and smart dogs love them all
they are so cute
I’ve got a bi black and a Merle
Wouldn’t live life the same without phoebe and Cupid!
Its great to have 2, but with different color coats! They do have such a great impact on our lives, and hopefully us on theirs!
Love her! 🥰
All of them! Shelties are the best.
