I had a collie and a sheltie. Whenever I went to the dog park, my sheltie would go out and herd the dogs, and my collie would go out and herd him back to us. It was pretty hilarious.
When my Sheltie was younger she would get bored with a trick after practicing only a few times and start adding on to it herself. I actually had to make her go through her entire trick routine before she'd even take one treat unless it was a brand new trick. She also made her own obstacle course from toys in the backyard because she was out there by herself for about 15 minutes. They are scary smart!
Dogumentary. For a one person made channel, the amount of information and passion in all your videos is really inspiring. Theyre all so professionally made I can't believe a studio didnt make em. The very best of luck. Keep up the Great work.
To make things clear I am a dog person. I have been following channels that give me information over dogs. So far dogumentary TV is the best. Most importantly I like the way the videos are detailed and give almost 99.9 % information over a particular dog breed. I am a big fan of the maker of these videos specially his flawless voice-overs
About 6:12 the most truthful and powerful statement about this breed I have ever come across; If you have a Shetland sheepdog it loves you and will do anything in it's power to please you. I have had 3 Shetlands from various breeders and one Shetland/Aussie mix. I have no formal training in this breed. I only can say that this breed trained me. After owning many breeds prior - once you own a Shetland... Let's just say I would argue being #6 on the list of intelligence. The breed will study you, learn you, and even make you feel good on your worst day.
Yay finally! Shelties are my breed, fell in love with the breed 12-13 years ago and last summer I finally got my tricolored male Sam ❤️ he’s amazing, so much will to please, he never says no to work. But he’s also gentle and very loving. We’re gonna train and compete in agility - he loves being active!
I'm currently on my 4th Sheltie, (a tri-color named Auggie Doggie). LOL, he loves "herding" the grandkids when they visit and has that "Border Collie" stare when he "herds" his toy ball in his spare time.
My 2nd sheltie would herd my kids circling them when they were outside playing and when they got to far in the yard she would start bumping them to make them get closer to the house
My Bryson passed 2 years ago. I miss him so much. The only issue with having a Sheltie they just might make you a Sheltie snob, lol. The only breed for me. I do enjoy other breeds. It's just a Sheltie thing you know
Another great video Zeke! Love the way you film. My brother owns a sheltie and from what I've personally observed over the years (nearing a decade now) I've found the breed to be: Intelligent Eager to please Loves to chase and herd - anything that moves - Vocal (I've found my brother's dog not only barking at people and other dogs but birds on the roof, lawnmowers, other strange noises. Also when over stimulated/excited. Never for no reason though) Wary of strangers Adores their family Gentle and sweet-natured Needing frequent brushing especially when blowing their coats
My parents have a sheltie. He legit herds EVERYTHING. Lol even tried to herd my child when he was a toddler. And succeeded. Kept him in one area. Pissed my kid off to no end lol
I was waiting for this breed dogumentary :D got one Sheltie a few years ago, on my country they are a little uncommon, everybody thinks he is a young Collie. They are smart, energetic, super active breed. Cheers to this channel, excellent work as always \m/.
A Sheltie will be my next dog breed to own after my current German Shepherd passes. I spent a lot of time around my cousin and her Shelties (She competed in obedience with her dogs) and during those times spent, I fell in love with their fun personality, intelligence and loyalty. Great little dogs to take anywhere.
They're such good family dogs. Our sheltie used to herd my brother and me around the yard and he had such a good temperament and personality. Only downside is they dont usually live longer than 11 years. Miss that pup ❤️
my sheltie murphey used to heard us when we were kids. god damn i miss that dog, i used to play traveling soccer down at the oval, one game he ran out on the field and chased the ball while the game was being played lol
Bzeekh you are amazing, the range of dogs you have covered in these high quality films are amazing. Please will you cover Polish Tatar Shepherd dogs next xxx
Yes I know that borders are at the top. That is why at some competitions they have classes for ABC (anything but collies). I was just stating that shelties seem to do really well in agility.
Lin Lewis well in the sizes shelties usually are (in Sweden/Europe small and medium, border collies are in large) there’s nothing that competes with shetland sheepdogs!
Wish the interview had been done with a breeder instead of just 2 owners who'd only had 2 shelties each. A breeder has so much more knowledge and can tell you more things than what you read in a regular "dog-breeds-book" and what these two ladies are saying, which is bascially what you can read in a book. The video is beautiful made, not complaining about that, it's just the credibility is higher with a breeder or someone who's had the breed from more years and tried more and different things with their dogs.
I am very much a cat person and very much a dog person. Currently I have not owned a dog but have my two cats and I also am very much an exotic animal person, I have two bearded dragons and a leopard gecko, I have had fish, and I love snakes! I love rodents, I've had a past hamster and a current one. I have had a rabbit, and I'm looking into another one! Also me and my family are looking for a dog that is easy to travel with, and since Shelties are small, we can fit that into our life when we have less pets! Currently we don't have the time space or money to care for more animals but we will look in to one in the future!
My one sheltie like the herd me around the house. Like he’ll bite my pants and growl and I just laugh and go in the opposite direction. He growls at me when I don’t follow his directions, but he lets me cuddle him all the time
Taco Salesman Pretty sure they had an outcross to Rough Collies to make them look more like them. Most early Shetland Sheepdogs looked more like small Border Collies than anything else.
Weirdanimalboy That's what I was thinking, I've seen a early picture of the breed and they really did look like tiny border collies, not sure why they wanted their shelties to look like a breed that already existed tho.
Taco Salesman shelties were made small because of where they originated from. the shetland islands had very harsh weather; cold and rainy. it was easier to feed a small animal rather than a large one. the shetland ponies originated from there as well for the same reason.
i had a shetland sheep dog, he was sable and was the runt of the pack. he was small for a male. we named him murphey, he never barked, when he was a puppy he did like to chew on our kitchen chair foot rests
We got a Collie cross (Angus) 3 years after we got our blue merle sheltie (Theo) and Theo used to boss him about!!! He might have been smaller but he was the alpha male!!! He's been a long time gone but I still remember how daft he was ( because of that we used to call him Muppet!!!). Unique breed, unique nature. Couldn't wish for anything more.
Thinking of getting a sheltie. Is it compulsory to do agility? I want to do biking and walking and obedience but I will be the one training him. And of course frisbee after fetch.
Sheltie did not come from a Collie it was a Boarder Collie that is why they are smarter than a collie. Also they can range from 14" to 18" .A lot of Bi-Blues and Blue Merles can be 18" tall.the small ones are use for show but they can get up to 18" tall and just as good of a worker. I've notice the taller ones are more of a working class than show.

My childhood sheltie , refused to herd sheeps but herded us instead. Marvelous friend he was. Miss him

bought a shetland to be an assistance dog for my niece with asperger and it was definetly the best move we ever made ! best dog bread !
We had a Sheltie named Chance when we were younger and he was the best damn dog I’ve ever had. I miss that guy so much.
My 2nd sheltie would herd my kids circling them when they were outside playing and when they got to far in the yard she would start bumping them to make them get closer to the house
Love my Shelties. I’ve really never had any other breed! ❤️❤️

utopianacht I've had Sheltie owners ask if my Sheltie was a collie. Lol Of course, they thought THEY owned a "miniature collie".
All these docu's--excuse me--dogu's are SO well done! ❤️
Would love to see a video on the Norwegian Elk Hound
A Sheltie will be my next dog breed to own after my current German Shepherd passes.
I spent a lot of time around my cousin and her Shelties (She competed in obedience with her dogs) and during those times spent, I fell in love with their fun personality, intelligence and loyalty. Great little dogs to take anywhere.

They are great dogs . I have had three and they can live long lives. all three of my shelties made it to age 16
My sheltie successfully herds cats. Cats! She literally does the impossible every day! Shelties are easily my favorite dog breed.
Herding vids are my favorite! Genuine working dogs!
my sheltie murphey used to heard us when we were kids. god damn i miss that dog, i used to play traveling soccer down at the oval, one game he ran out on the field and chased the ball while the game was being played lol
Bzeekh you are amazing, the range of dogs you have covered in these high quality films are amazing. Please will you cover Polish Tatar Shepherd dogs next xxx
I didn't know much about this breed. Thanks so much for doing this! Looks like such a cool and fun breed to own
thanks zeke from new Zealand!!! 👊😎 you're the BEST!!!!✔
Keep coming with the docu's.💪
The sheltie kicks ass in agility. Would like to see program on smooth collies. They are on the UK's vulnerable breeds list.
lauri robbins Shelties do well in agility, definitely. But the border collie is the breed that kicks ass in agility.

You should male one about rough and smooth collies!!
Beautiful dogs

I got a sheltie, Mr. Logan. He loves to heard everything especially birds specifically ducks! He's the best!
I have one of these crossed with a jack russel. Everybody thinks hes beautiful and stops to see him and hes very sweet.
Full of energy
Beautiful dog
You don't have to tell a sheltie twice. It herd you the first time.
I am getting my Shetland baby next week..7/12/18 and I am happy
Onellia Durbin How is he or she doing now?
My one sheltie like the herd me around the house. Like he’ll bite my pants and growl and I just laugh and go in the opposite direction. He growls at me when I don’t follow his directions, but he lets me cuddle him all the time
They really remind me of small rough collies, especially the merle ones.
Taco Salesman Pretty sure they had an outcross to Rough Collies to make them look more like them. Most early Shetland Sheepdogs looked more like small Border Collies than anything else.

Important to note that they can be loud and yappy barkers. Notice all of the muted barking going on in the video.
I've had 2 shelties and neither were loud and yappy barkers.
My girl is a yapper but my boy isn’t.
i had a shetland sheep dog, he was sable and was the runt of the pack. he was small for a male. we named him murphey, he never barked, when he was a puppy he did like to chew on our kitchen chair foot rests

6:59 she explained that the downside is because they bark
Great video!
I have a sheltie mix named Sahara (it’s my icon) she is the best
I have my shelties herd my husky she won't run away on their watch. 🤣🤣🤣
another great video keep up the good work
I am a shetland sheepdog!
Have you ever heard of the chippiparai hound from india? They are really good sight hounds. Try to find one in usa.
I know somebody who had a shelty, was a great household helper. Found lost keys quick.
and very polite
That's 50lbs of fur on a 10lb dog
hdjc86 If you brush a Sheltie you get two new dogs out of it. Lol
They come from the rainy windy Shetland islands. They are built perfectly to withstand wind and rain
Where is the American Bandogge
I would love if you could do a komondor video. :) looking to buy one but there isnt much out there about them and i wont buy unless im prepared.
Could you perhaps do; Living with an Australian cattledog?
Thank you Zeke, for a wonderful channel :)
Would
You consider filming the Miniature American Shepherd?
For sure!
How do you identify that drive to herd sheep in puppies? What to look for at the earliest stages.
Thinking of getting a sheltie. Is it compulsory to do agility? I want to do biking and walking and obedience but I will be the one training him. And of course frisbee after fetch.

Can you make a poodle version of this? With Standards and Moyen/Klein poodles.
How do you find places like this ? I’d love to try this with my Aussie pup.
nice love your videos.....plz give some training videos
I have never met a sheltie that wasn't a herder....
Standard poodles soon?
Moreee DOGOS ARGENTINOS PLEASEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree I love the Dogo as a breed but I've never owned one I'm actually looking for one now to train as a service dog
Shes the curly collie lady
Poso chiedere le versioni in italia
First!😜
Too Hawt To Handle lol👊😂
