Shelties don't have a big, bad rep...just known as comulsive barkers. I hate hearing "oh yeah, Sheltie? They're so barky and annoying." So what? I can come right back and start saying, "Oh yeah Pit Bulls? They're so agressive and such a threat!" and then nobody wins (I'm trying to make a point here, I wouldn't really say that)

I hate these reputations, it makes every dog look bad in some way.
