Description
Dog Breed: Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie (long coat). UPDATE: Donnie is now completely vetted, has transitioned into a wonderful, happy, friendly household pet, and is now just waiting for his perfect family. ________________________ DONNIE is a very handsome, 27#, one-year-old (3-16-24), male, tricolor sheltie. He is neutered and has an appointment to update his vaccinations and to be heartworm tested on 4/16. He was surrendered due to his natural herding instincts (nipping) in a family with multiple toddler-age children. He has been an inside/outside dog; therefore, we will be evaluating his household etiquette as well as working on his leash skills. We will also evaluate if he needs to be placed in a home with another dog. He has a wonderful personality and very friendly. Will post more photos after he has a complete grooming. He will require considerable grooming efforts, beauty comes with a price and/or work (smile). FENCED YARD MANDATORY.

Breed overview

Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
