The Shelties
We no longer raise Sheltie's.  However my Mom and dad have a few adult sheltie's for adoption to good homes.  They have a Blue merle male that is absolutely gorgeous and great with kids.  Then they have 2 sable and white females that are really sweet dogs but are shy until they get to know you, so they would probably do best with older or no kids.  All of these dogs have been outside, the girls have been inside some when they have had puppies.
