Here are some super cute photos of a Sheltie puppy growing up into an adult dog - showing all the funny little changes in their face and bodies as they grow up. These pictures are a good way of helping new Shetland Sheepdog puppy owners understand what their baby furball might look like in the near future!

Our model dog is Howard Woofington Moon, our first Sheltie who we've had since he was 8 weeks old. The pictures show him growing up from then to the present day, at 2.5 years old, where he demonstrates his fully grown adult coat. Enjoy! :)
