Thank you for your useful information. I appreciate your advice.
My intentions for the dog is to have as a pet. Not to breed. I do not believe in spaying a female until after she has had a litter of puppy's. It has to do with health reasons and mainly weight reasons for the animal. My wife grew up raising and training dogs for different purposes. We have finally gotten to the place where she would have time and space to train a dog. That is the reason for a puppy.
I personally, about 9 years ago, left the dog circuit due to personal health reasons. Severe heart problems (heartattacks, bypass surgery, etc.) prevent me from returning. I have lost contact with many friends. I was hoping to find a breeder locally, or somewhat close to being local. My wife has expressed her desire to have a Sheltie and that is why I am looking for this particular breed. If your familiar with the circuit, I was Dave Horton's Sharpening Service. I traveled, Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and then back home to South Dakota (on occasion). Because of my health, I honestly cannot remember many of the names of my friends. But they may remember me.
Your children are cute!
