Do Short Haired Shelties Exist?

There are Shelties with more and less fur, but all have fur. The fur looks extremely dense. I’ve often heard that the fur is supposed to be extremely bad. But also that it makes no difference. It will depend on the dog, perhaps.

You should never shear a Sheltie, as this will change the coat extremely. It becomes like a puppy fur again and loses its property of being wind and waterproof.

If a dog is shaved too often (and above all too short) this has long-term negative consequences for its coat. So that should be left as it is. Visually, it is probably subjective and the dog probably doesn’t care either. But as I said, the coat suffers from it, and that really doesn’t have to be the case.

If you don’t like long fur on your dog, then you should get a short-haired dog.

Can you shave a sheltie’s fur?
