Below are links to some of the authorities of the breed. First is the American Shetland Sheepdog Club (ASSA). They have in depth FAQ's and beautiful pictures! This is a great site for information if you are thinking about buying a sheltie. If you are inquiring about finding a puppy in the Minnesota area, click here to send an email to our breeder refferal person. Please include the city (or nearest metro area) you live in. If you are looking for a puppy outside of the Minnesota area, click here to go to the ASSA Breeder Network.
Next is the American Kennel Club (AKC). This link is set up to take you straight to the Shetland Sheepdog area of their Breed Information area. However, you can still "poke" around their site for other good general dog information that can answer some basic dog questions.
Listed below the ASSA and AKC links are other sites that have breed information, including Lochland's Breed Information Fact Sheet, and other areas of interest to sheltie enthusiasts.
