What type of exercise is good for the Sheltie?
Since this is a smaller, athletic working dog, regular exercise is necessary. Long walks, playing with a ball or Frisbee, and agility competitions are excellent for this breed. However, new owners should be careful to work with a breeder that has knowledge of the traits of his dogs. This can help avoid problems with a Sheltie that does not have natural herding instincts or is happier with a quiet, less active lifestyle.
