Free minature Shetland Sheepdog


FREE due to a relationship problem with the kids.
Shetland Sheepdog. Paid $900.00 dollars a little over a year ago.

Male, All Paperwork and well behaved. Not fully trained
yet and has been using the crate for about 11 months so
far. Beautiful dog. Bloomfield, NJ, prefer he be picked
up. I would like to do this next week as the kids are out
of town.

Have all paperwork, includes the crate, and and misc. stuff.
If interested please reply to this email with your phone
number and time I can call you. He will be available
starting Thursday (Tonight) night.

Regards.

It's an unfortunate fact that free dogs are often not taken as good care of
as those someone has had to pay for.
Suja has brought up some important facts here. But I must ask why the
breeder of this dog has not been contacted and if so, why he has not been
taken back by the breeder and kept or rehomed? Responsible breeders will
take their stock back and find suitable homes. In fact they often have a
waiting list of nice homes for a dog which must be placed.

Lizzie, I didn't suggest that option because of the assumption that
anyone who would sell a "miniature" Sheltie when such a thing does not
exist must not be an ethical breeder. My bad.

Good point Lizzie. The breeder should be willing to take the dog
back and rehome it. As for the "miniature" name, a lot of people
call the smaller 13" ones miniature, just because they look so small
compared to the 16" ones
