(Collie and Shetland Sheepdog mix) The Cosheltie is a medium to large canine that sports a thick coat that is on the long side. Pleasing you is his passion so he should be pretty easy to train. Since they have the tendency to herd, they may not be the best pet for small children.
add infoThis is an extremely intelligent canine. He will make an excellent watchdog as he will alert you to intruders. Agility training will be a good fit for this active hybrid.
add infoHealth concerns of the parent breeds should be noted here; Prone to Deafness, Von Willebrand\'s Disease, Eye Issues
add infoBoth parent breeds of the Cosheltie were herding animals. It is believed the Shetland Sheepdog is actually a descendant of the Scottish Collie - the larger and more aggressive of the Collie breeds.
add infoDue to the long thick coat of the Cosheltie, you will need to brush often with a stiff brush. Using a comb will help to work out any matting in the coat. You may find it is very beneficial to have them groomed by a professional a couple of times per year to maintain their lovely coat. Also special attention should be paid to the ears.
add infoA fenced yard will be a important tool to help this active canine burn off some of its energy. Interactive play is very important as well. The Cosheltie will excel in games of frisbee and catch. If you can, take him swimming, jogging, and on visits to the dog park. These family times will help this hybrid be the best he can be.
