Shetland, as a dog top ten IQ, is a very good sheepdog. They are intelligent, loyal, and widely used dogs that are very popular today. A healthy Shetland Sheepdog is all about what it looks like and where you buy it.

The Shetland's eyes should be clear and clean. Eye congestion, albuginea in the eyeball, a lot of mucus at the corner of the eye, and protruding flesh at the corner of the eye are all unhealthy symptoms.

Check Shetland's poop. Dog waste is also a measure of dog health. If the dog has diarrhea and the stool is very loose, it means that there is a problem with its digestive system, or the intestinal flora has been destroyed, and the worst is parvovirus. If you can't see its excrement, you can gently lift its tail to see if there is sticky stool around the anus. Generally, only dogs with diarrhea will have stool stuck on the hair around the anus.

By making the Shetland play, run and jump, observe whether the limbs are normal. Such as limp, two forelimbs close together inward (0-shaped leg) or outward divergence (x-shaped leg) are not normal.

The Shetland's forelimb pads are cool and soft, not hot, dry, or hard.
