ABOUT THIS BREED

There have been mixed-breed dogs for as long as there were any breeds to speak of. Naturally, Golden Retriever and Sheltie mixes existed even before these hybrid dogs got an official name and were intentionally bred.

However, while this speaks to the long line of the breed, it also makes it quite difficult for people to determine its origin. The closest we can get to finding out when the Golden Sheltie was created is to assume it was in the last two decades, somewhere in the United States- same as all other designer dog breeds.

Not unlike all hybrid dogs, the Golden Sheltie is yet to be recognized by the American Kennel Club. And without being recognized as an actual, official breed, Golden Sheltie puppies can’t have pedigree papers. However, the lack of recognition doesn’t indicate the lack of qualities in this mixed-breed pooch.

Pedigree is just a well-documented family tree of a dog, that serves as a “ proof” of the fact that they’re purebred. You can achieve the same by simply inquiring your breeder about the parent’s pedigree. Both Sheltie and Golden Retriever are recognized by the AKC, so you should be able to learn more about your puppy’s family history.

Why Get a golden sheltie puppy?

Feeding

To make sure that your pet stays healthy and grows into a fit, happy pooch, you need to make sure to feed them properly. Luckily, as omnivores, dogs get their nutrients from a variety of foods and it shouldn’t be hard to meet their dietary needs. Most pet parents decide to feed their Golden Sheltie high-quality dry food for dogs, as it’s convenient and contains everything a dog needs to be healthy.

Training 

Did you want a dog that would be happy to train with you, excelling at every lesson? If so, you’re in luck! The Golden Sheltie is the perfect canine student. Not only that these designer dogs are exceptionally intelligent, but they’re also very eager to please. These quick learners will meet your every training expectation and then some: whether it’s simple housebreaking, learning commands and tricks, or training for agility. Ideally, the owner of a Golden Sheltie will recognize their impressive capabilities and work with them, otherwise, they fall prey to boredom and depression..

Weight

With designer dog breeds, all bets are off when it comes to their appearance. Even across one litter, hybrid puppies can look dramatically different one from another, their differences only more apparent as they grow up. When it comes to Golden Retriever and Shetland Sheepdog mixes, the offspring of this two purebreds will wildly vary in size.

Personality

The Golden Sheltie is like a poster child for the “ good boy dog”. After all, both the Golden Retriever and the Shetland Sheepdog have been one of the most represented dog breeds in popular culture, from books to movies- everybody agrees that they have perfect qualities. Wasn’t it easy to guess that their offspring will also boast an array of amazing personality traits?

These designer dogs have a playful, friendly behavior that knocks everyone off their feet. It is quite hard not to find them utterly adorable, with their goofy antics and extroverted behavior. The Golden Sheltie is a big-hearted pooch that’s not shy about it. They’ll show their love to their family and strangers alike: they’re not the greatest choice for a watchdog. Although, unless socialized on time, this hybrid can be a bit of a barker. But it’s mostly directed at squirrels and that pesky mailman rather than a passerby on the street.
