I have been thinking about getting a couple of Sheltie (Shetland Sheepdog)
puppies and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them or
have any comments.  How difficult are they to train?  Are they well behaved?
Are they calm dogs?  I would also like to know what kind of care their hair
takes since it is so long.  Do they shed very much since I am planning on
keeping them both indoors and outdoors?

Also, I have been following the discussion on crate training and had a couple
of questions.  How well does crate training work with 2 dogs together?  Does
anything have to be done differently for 2 dogs than for 1?


Thanks,

Steve
