The videos below exemplifies why I breed purebred
Shetland Sheepdogs. It shows the temperament, loyalty, affection, intelligence, and willingness to please which are
the qualities Shelties are known for. The dog below
is one that I sold to a wonderful family, and this is Dee with her dog, Wendy.
This video is of Annie. She
also belongs to a wonderful family
who have another sheltie of mine and then they added the new kitty.
This is Annie's first encounter with the new kitty.

Things You Didn’t Know About H$U$
(The
Humane Society of the United States)
1.
H$U$ does not operate or have direct control over any animal shelter. Buried
deep within H$U$'s website is a disclaimer noting that the group "is not
affiliated with, nor is it a parent organization for, local humane societies,
animal shelters, or animal care and control agencies.” When H$U$ merged with
the Fund for Animals they acquired some animal sanctuaries but those are usually
full when someone tries to send an animal there - unless the animal comes with a
big check.
2.
Since its inception, H$U$ has tried to limit the choices of American consumers,
opposing dog breeding, conventional livestock and poultry farming, rodeos,
circuses, horse racing, marine aquariums, fur trapping and medical research.
3.
H$U$ raises enough money to help finance animal shelters in every single state,
with money to spare, yet it doesn't operate a single one anywhere. Instead, H$U$
spends millions on programs that seek to economically cripple meat and dairy
producers; eliminate the use of animals in biomedical research labs; phase out
pet breeding, zoos, and circus animal acts; and demonize hunters as crazed
lunatics. H$U$ spends $2 million each year on travel expenses alone, just
keeping its multi-national agenda going.
4.
While most local animal shelters are under-funded and unsung, H$U$ has
accumulated $113 million in assets and built a recognizable brand by
capitalizing on the confusion its very name provokes.
5.
The current president of H$U$, Wayne Pacelle, is a former officer of PETA.
6.
H$U$ is currently under investigation by the Attorney General of Louisiana in
regards to the disposition of Katrina funds. H$U$ has been under investigation
by the FBI for their links to domestic terrorist organizations such as the
Animal Liberation Front (ALF). One of their current officers, John P. Goodwin is
a former member of ALF and a convicted felon for acts of terrorism related to
animals.
7.
H$U$ consistently jumps on the bandwagon of any animal issue to raise funds even
if they are NOT directly involved. Most recently they used the Michael Vick case
as a major fund raiser, even though H$U$ had nothing to do with the
investigation or care of the Vick dogs.
