Breed Information

Overview

The Sheltie Mix is not a purebred dog. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and understand that you can get any combination of the characteristics found in either breed.

A Sheltie Mix, or Shetland Sheepdog Mix, is a cross between a Shetland Sheepdog and another dog breed. Because a mix can inherit any combination of traits from their parents, it’s important to talk to the breeder about the other parent breed in the mix.

If a Shetland Sheepdog Mix takes after their Sheltie parent, they will be a small, fluffy dog with a charming, affectionate personality. These dogs tend to be energetic, playful, and a good addition to a family.

Temperament

Shelties tend to be loving, affectionate, and intelligent dogs that get along well with children, other pets, and other dogs. They tend to alert bark and are initially reserved towards strangers, but tend to warm up once introduced as long as they have been properly socialized. If the other parent breed is similar, then you can expect the same from a Sheltie Mix. You can also meet the mother in person to see what her temperament is like and the behavior she is modeling for her puppies. The breeder should have started some socialization and training, but it is up to you to continue to train and socialize a puppy once you get them home.
