I have 2 they are sweet and loving. They are very easy to potty train. they are good with little kids for example my little cousin(1) stepped on hugos tail and he didn't even flinch. They love being with the family. They are very protective if anybody tried hurting me or my family they'd have to answer to hugo and daisy (my shelties) Daisy my 5 year old got 2nd place in a dog show with only 1 week of training she was 1 then. good luck with your shelties!
