History


This designer dog doesn\'t have information on its history since it is relatively new. You can look to the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Shetland Sheepdog for more information. Of note the Shetland Sheepdog was used to herd sheep, but it is said they were used to chase the birds from the sheep. Since they like to chase birds, this is believed to be true.

Dog Training!

If you're having problems training your dog or getting control, you should read our review of DogProblems.com. Adam will do whatever it takes to help you whip your dog into shape. I've used them to help with my Great Dane as well as help friends train their dogs. It's the first place I go to help answer users Questions. Many training issues are too extensive to answer in this forum, which is why I refer a lot of the load to his site. Update: I've been using and recommending DogProblems for three years now. I, as well as my users, value the techniques we've learned. I get weekly emails from users who have become better owners from the information they received.
