Shelties have a double coat. The hair on the head, ears, and feet is smooth, but the mane and frill (the hair around the neck and on the forecast) are abundant. The legs and tail are furry as well.
You’ll see three basic colors in the breed, all with varying amounts of white and/or tan markings: sable, ranging from golden to mahogany; black; blue Merle (blue-gray with black).
A Sheltie who’s more than 50 percent white or who has a brindle coat won’t do for the show ring, but his color doesn’t affect his ability to be a great companion.
