Introducing My Sheltie Boys

I've been following Blogville peeps for awhile and thought I would give it a go ... everyone is so friendly & have so much fun!! Here it goes ...

I have two little sheltie boys (well maybe not so little) that I love & adore. We like to go on hikes, though Scout can't go too far in the heat, he is more of a winter lover. Axel is my geodog ... we love to go geocaching (more on that later). We also like to play at agility, just for fun, we are not ready to compete, mama just can't run fast enough.

This is my sable Boy Scout, He is turning 8 yo in the fall and he is the Boss. I researched many breeds when hubby finally said yes we could get another dog. Shelties have magnificent coats and even though they take a bit of grooming, it is worth it. They are medium sized  so not quite lap dogs but still snuggly. They have a lot of energy, so it forces you to get out & walk them every day ... sometimes I need a kick in the you know what ...

After a few years, we thought Scout needed a companion being home alone all day, in came Axel. I wanted a tri but none were available at the time, so Axel is a tri-factored sable. He is going to be 5 yo at Christmas time. He is a mama's boy and is timid around little kids & big dogs. But if Scout goes first and says it is ok then he moves in for the attention. He wants to please his mama so he is easy to train, we enjoy obedience, rally obedience & agility.

So these are my boys, hoping to share some of our adventures with you all ...

  4. Welcome! Thanks for stopping by my blog - your fellas are just stunning! I keep to the short-haired dogs myself because I am lazy with a capital L when it comes to grooming - but you do a great job keeping them looking great!

    Axel's coloring is just stunning!

    1. thanks for having a peeksie ... it's harder with 2 so they don't get groomed as often as Scout used to, sometimes just a once over to keep the mats away between professional grooming. speaking of coloring Blueberry is so pretty ...
