Now
Today’s Shetland Sheep Dogs have evolved into a canine larger size than its ancestors. To be precise, they have grown twice of there size that they used to be 100 years ago making them weighs around 20 pounds. No doubt, they have changed a lot in the matter of size but same can’t be said about their height, not much difference has been registered in their height. Their fur has also undergone changes. They are a more furry animal now. During the time when American Kennel Club recognized the breed in 1911, it had the fur of medium size, unlike today when their fur is longer and brighter. They have a larger quantity of fur now and therefore, sheds a lot. What hasn’t changed is their nature of being friendly, smart and alert.
