I'll try and keep this as short as possible. The actual whole story is paragraphs long, lol.

I've wanted a dog for as long as I can remmeber and begged my parents to let me have one. Two years ago, they finally gave in so I began research on what breed would fit our lifestyle best. It doesn't make sense to me to buy a dog just because I like how it looks but make it suffer because we can not offer it all it needs. So I liked the Sheltie and looked for them in every shelter around us. After a summer of no luck, I came upon a breeder who was in the area and we made plans to reserve and pick up a pup.
