This group is a forum for sheltie rescuers, owners, and breeders dealing with troubled and traumatized shelties. It is also a tool for me to use in gathering data, ideas and research material for my upcoming book on rehabilitating the rescued Shetland Sheepdog.

This list is for the discussion of SHELTIE BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS. It is also for the support of those dealing with a sheltie with behavior problems, the discussion of solutions to those problems and the celebration of successes.

It is NOT for the posting of dogs in need of rescue or in need of placement since there are other lists devoted to that cause.

It is NOT for the discussion of NON-SHELTIE-BEHAVIOR-RELATED topics which should be taken to the appropriate forum. General rescue topics should be taken to the appropriate rescue forum, such as the Sheltie Rescue list or the Collie Rescue list or the RAOW list, etc...

The photo is of Toonie, aka Petunia, aka Incognito Blue. It is the photo that she won the Couch Potato class of the Virtual Sheltie Show with. I had lost all copies of this photo in my laptop crash, but Susan Ferree had a copy on her computer. Now, I have my Couch Potato BACK! Thanks so much, Susan.
