Misty Blue was extremely skittish when we purchased her and thus we had to pull her from training classes due to her nervousness; however, since Shilo became a part of our family Misty Blue has come out of her shell and become a totally different Sheltie.

Misty Blue does not compete in obedience but does go along with us to the shows. She enjoys just being with us as we feel the same way. She has been a bundle of joy in our lives and we are thankful that we have her and have been able to care for her needs.

Misty Blue is now waiting at Rainbow Bridge
