The Shetland Sheepdog, often known as the Sheltie, is a breed of herding dog. They are small to medium dogs, and come in a variety of colors, such as sable/white, tri-color, and blue merle. They are vocal, excitable, energetic dogs who are always willing to please and work hard. They are partly derived from dogs used in the Shetland Isles for herding and protecting sheep.The breed was formally recognized by the Kennel Club in 1909.

Yes, Zoey loves being outside in the winter. Since we live in Florida we don't have too many days of it being very cold. Most of the time she prefers to stay inside.
Laurie, I bet she is. In the third picture I think snow instead of sand would look very organic :) These dogs love the cold!
Do they get very warm in this fur?
Thank you IIya! This one is as sweet as she is beautiful.
What beautiful dogs they are!
