The temptation exists to label the lovely Shetland Sheepdog as a miniature Collie, but this diminutive Collie look-alike is a breed unto itself in spite of its striking resemblance to the larger herding dog.

In the early 1800s, the Sheltie was brought from his home islands to the mainland and he began to gain some notoriety as a herding dog. In 1909 the breed was recognized by the English Kennel Club as the Shetland Collie and in 1914 became known as the Shetland Sheepdog, a completely separate breed.

The Sheltie is a herding breed, and like the other dogs in its group, needs a job to do. If there are no critters to herd, he'll round up the children. If he isn't given a job to do, he can become yappy and nervous in an attempt to dissipate his pent-up energy and drive.
