Rott'n Shelties at the off leash...(21 pics)...

[ScottieMommy]

Oh wow is there a place to fit a Scottie in? Nena would of had loads of fun for hours. She loves big dogs.

What goooood doggies! Ramone looks like he's "one of the gang" now!

[Suki Wingy]

Yay! This amused me today at work.
I didn't catch the memo you got a Rottie! Good for you!

I have a question of color for you. I've always loved bi-black shelties like Clipse, but the other day I was driving home and I thought I saw a bicolor COLLIE being walked. Was I seeing things? Maybe it was a tricolor with really dark tan marks?

Collie's, as far as I know, don't come in bi-colors. It could have been a poorly marked tri.

I'd kill to have a place for my dogs to truelly be free and run like that!!

at the risk of getting poo-pooh'ed
Could it have been a large Sheltie?

Aw they are so cute. Glad to see your new boy is fitting in so well.
I like this one the best.

Oh, if you could see the great BIG SMILE on my face right now. I have always loved Emily and Clipse, but now Ramone has really wiggled his way right into my heart too. Looks like I will need a bigger car if I still plan on stealing your pups.

Not going to poo-pooh you at all, Staci. The same thought occurred to me. I remember admiring a gorgeous 11 month old collie, he was a big boy, then his mom told me he was a sheltie. He was a big handsome sweetie-pie, though.

It very well could have been. Size is still a big problem in shelties. They are supposed to be 13" to 16" tall at the withers. Anything more or less is a disqualification.

To many people size is the only difference between shelties and collies, but there are other structural differences as well. The most noticeable is their head. Shelties have a very pronounced stop whereas collies don't.... but in saying that... I've seen many a collie looking sheltie before. I groom a sheltie that makes my giant shelties seem like they are the proper size. He is very collie looking in the face. Confused yet? lol

They sure have a great place to run around!
