Paul McCartney of the Beatles included a dog whistle into one of his songs "A Day in the Life". The ultrasonic whistle could only be heard by dogs and was meant for his Shetland Sheepdog.
At first glance, a Shetland Sheepdog resembles a Colie. However, they are much smaller, and this makes them great pets for those living in Apartments.
They are remarkably healthy, and make very loyal companions. Observations show that they are very good around children too. They are noted for their Intelligence. Ranking 6th out of 132 breeds according to Stanley Coren, they are one of the most intelligent dogs around.

Its well documented that Paul McCartney owned Old English Sheepdogs. The dog in this photo is an OES, not a sheltie.

Shelties are very high energy
Shelties are very high energy dogs as well as being very intelligent. Their size does work well in an apartment but they need a rigid schedule that involves lots & lots of exercise. They need something to do, something to learn, all the time or they will look for entertainment themselves!! They do have herding instincts which can sometimes cause them to nip. My mil's sheltie does not tolerate children well and has bitten instead of warning.
PS-- the dog in the picture here resembles neither a collie or a sheltie!
