Companion Pets

The description of a companion includes: partner, friend, buddy, and many others.

Our Shelties fit this description and more!  We work, play, live with our dogs as part of our family.

KSSC members and their dogs are actively involved in conformation, obedience, agility, rally, scent work, pet therapy, and more; however, first and foremost they are our pets. They live with us and fill our homes and lives with joy, laughter, affection, some noise (they can be barkers after all), delight, entertainment and most of all they are an inexhaustible source of unconditional love.

Our Shelties have a sensitive nature and according to the American Shetland Sheepdog Association, Shelties:

…have an intense desire to please their owners and an enormous capacity for love and affection, although they can be a bit reserved or reticent with strangers. They are not recommended for people, or very young children, who would not appreciate their sensitive nature.

As a Sheltie matures, he often learns to respond in an almost human fashion and becomes a real member of the family. The Sheltie is exceptionally trainable and responsive, plus being an outstanding worker.

Don’t you need to have one, too?
