Shetland Sheepdog Did You Know?
- The Shetland Sheepdog, as its name implies, is essentially a working Collie
in miniature.
- The Sheltie was officially recognized by the English Kennel Club in 1909
but did not receive separate classification as the Sheltie (apart from Collie)
until 1914.
- The Sheltie is one of the most successful obedience breeds.
- The first Sheltie registered by the AKC (1911) was "Lord Scott",
who was imported from Shetland by John G. Sherman, Jr. of New York.
- The American Shetland Sheepdog Association, parent club of the breed,
was organized at the Westminster Kennel Club in 1929, and held its first
specialty show in 1933.
