Benji is a Sheltie(Shetland Sheep dog). He is pretty good with children which isn't really common in shelties. For example, my little cousin hit him in the face with this toy train and he did not do anything, he did not snap, bite, or even growl at him, he simply stood there. The only thing is he is extremely exuberent. He constantly wants to play, which I don't mind, but he is always trying to bite peoples feet because he loves when people chase him so people sometimes get annoyed with that. Other than that he is extremely affectionate and loves to be around people. They are great dogs.
