Oh, fount of collective wisdom . . .

What can you tell me good/bad/indifferent on getting a Shetland Sheepdog puppy in late spring/early summer? My wife just retired & she is on the warpath for a dog. It has to blend with an existing 3 year old Queen of the House cat. We have a good fenced backyard for ‘the business’ and self-exercise & a great neighborhood & city for leashed walks. I am committed to properly train it btw. I had a Sheltie-cross as a kid so I have a rough knowledge.

And we have discussed a shelter dog & the answer is no. Long ago, we have both had success & failures with that.

Thanks

Ian
