Shetland Sheepdogs, also known as Shelties, originate from the Shetland Islands of Scotland. They were originally bred as working dogs to herd and guard sheep in the harsh and rugged terrain of the islands. Later on, they became popular companion dogs due to their intelligence, loyalty, and sweet demeanor.
