Favourite dog breed:So I actually have no choice... The Shetland Sheepdog. Since my little
boy Django is one of these lovely dogs. Two years ago, I would have said Rough Collie, but Django changed my mind. The difference is probably not that big. Still I do prefer Shelties now.
Well, I love them for their intelligence. Seriously, he understands a lot more than he should. He knows exactly when I watch him, and what he is not allowed to do then. And he will still do it, when I don't watch him. Just like jumping in my bed while I sleep...
Collies are intelligent aswell, why Shelties now? There is one simple reason. My little boy weighs 12,5kg and he is quite large for the breed (45cm). I can easily carry him, if he wouldnt be able to walk for whatever reason. With a Collie of about 18kg its not that easy anymore.
And I simply adore their appearance. I love breeds with long straight fur and longer/thin muzzles (Pomeranians, Groenendale,...). Also the sable colour always catches my eye. Not that much a fan of tricolor, but they are still sweet.
