<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > introduction to the Hilti Shepherd breed</h1>
Hilti Shepherd, alias: Shetland Islands Shepherd, Shedland Shepherd, native to Scotland, its English name Sheetland sheepdog, is due to the origin of the reason, referred to as Shelti (Hilti). In ancient times, the Hilti Shepherd was used as an excellent shepherd, able to tolerate cold, good physical strength, good eyesight, loyal and honest to its owner, very intelligent and reliable, so it was widely bred at that time.
The Shetland Islands, located on the North Sea between Norway and Scotland, are the home of the Hilti Shepherd. It's cold and windy, the rocks are rough, and the environment is harsh. The Shetland Islands are small in size for their horses and sheep, and the island is also known for being the origin of the Shetland ponies.
Around 1700, locals improved the breeds of dogs brought from outside the island to be close to the current Hilti and trained over the centuries to become sheepdogs capable of controlling and protecting flocks. In the 19th century, the dog was introduced to Scotland for improvement; in 1909, it was originally recognized in Britain as the "Shedland Collie"; in 1911 it was recognized by the United States; in 1914, it was renamed the Shetland Shepherd, and became known worldwide as the "Hilti".
Loyal and obedient, enthusiastic and cheerful, intellectual temperament. However, Hilti's personality will also vary according to the owner, because they are very loyal to the owner and emotionally rich, easy to train, and naturally like to be with the owner, quite emotional. However, it is very wary of strangers, no matter what the situation, it always has reservations about strangers, but it will not show fear or cringe.
The Hilti Shepherd is intelligent by nature, has strong learning ability, and can quickly grasp the essentials when training. It is endurance to children, wary of strangers, and sometimes barks. At the same time, the dog has a strong vigilance against suspicious noises and figures at night, so it is a reliable breed as a family dog and watchdog.
When the Hilti Shepherd is walking, if it sees animals such as running cats, the blood of the sheepdog flowing in its body will boil and will not be able to help but go up to catch up, so the owner should hold the leash well.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > the history of the Hilti Shepherd</h1>
Native to Scotland, the Hilti Shepherd has a history of hundreds of years and is very popular in Japan, with its current main distribution in the UK and North America.
For centuries, the dog has been a shepherd and guard in the Shetland Islands, a reef island off the coast of Scotland, where animals are small.
The first club was founded on The Island of Shetland in 1908, and the Joylett Club was established in Scotland the following year, which was introduced to England in the late 19th century. After being introduced to the United States in 1911, it was so popular that the dog now spreads all over the world. The first Hilti Shepherd to register with the AKC was the 1911 registered Lord Scott, a dark sable shepherd from the Scottish Shetland Islands. Its owner is John G. Sherman, Jr. of New York. After arriving in the United States, ranches and farms became the new home of the Hilti Shepherd, and it was an indispensable and important role in the family and work no matter where in the United States.
After being introduced to the United States, ranches and farms became the new home of the Hilti Shepherd, and no matter where in the United States, it always occupied a pivotal position in the family and work. Because the origin of this breed was the Scottish Shepherd, it was not until 1914 that the breed was classified separately and was named the Hilti Shepherd instead of the Scottish Shepherd. In 1915, the first challenging certificate was awarded to the breed, and after the First World War, the development of the variety also stagnated, and this process lasted for several years before it was alleviated.
In 1929, at the time of the exhibition of the Westminster Kennel Club in the United States, the Hilti Shepherd Dog Association, also known as the Breed Origin Club, was established, and the first special exhibition of the Hilti Shepherd was held in 1933.

First, overbearing
The sense of territory of the Hilti dog is very strong, so if sometimes you may accidentally invade its territory, then it may cause some land flight to keep barking at you, although this belongs to the antenna of the Hilti dog, but as long as the parents are trained according to science. The method should reduce the awareness of its territorial possession.

Hilti also has something to be afraid of, such as lightning and thunder, the roar of locomotives, and the sound of firecrackers.

1. Brush your hair every day. In fact, every day when you watch TV and chat, you can take a small comb in your hand to comb your hair for about a quarter of an hour or so, which can ensure that the size of your indoor hair will be reduced a lot.
2. Must be active every day. The puppy must be taken for a daily walk and activity together. Remember to bring a leash to avoid accidents.
3. Clean the ears in time: otherwise there will be a variety of ear diseases, such as otitis media, ear mites, etc., be careful when bathing every time, do not let water enter the ears and cause inflammation, after bathing must use a clean cotton swab to dig the ears for its puppy, be careful that the cotton swab can not reach too deep into the ear hole.
In addition, work such as pedicure and nail cutting is also necessary to do regularly.
First consider meeting the needs of protein, fat and carbohydrates, and then appropriately supplement vitamins and inorganic salts, considering quality first and quantity later.
Second, you can not feed a single feed for a long time, so as not to cause anorexia, you must change the formula of the diet in a timely manner and adjust the feeding.
The third is to consider the digestibility of food, eating into the body of food can not be all digested, absorbed and utilized, such as plant protein digestibility is 80%, 20% is not used. Therefore, the content of various nutrients in the diet should be higher than the nutritional needs of dogs.
Fourth, we must pay attention to hygiene, feed should be fresh, clean, easy to digest, moldy and spoiled feed can not be used.
This dog food is the powder of the previous type, and like the granular raw material, only the size difference.
Raising a Hilti Shepherd is a very meticulous task, the allocation of dog food is particularly important, and the rationality of nutrients will affect the life of the dog. According to the nutritional composition of various feeds and the nutritional needs of dogs, they are selected and combined.

Condition 1:
People who have a detailed understanding of Hilti or have relevant dog breeding experience are more suitable for raising Hilti. If it is the first time to try to get a dog, if you choose Hilti.

Since it was decided to raise Hilti, it was necessary to complete the responsibility of taking care of and maintaining it in more than ten years. Having love and responsibility This is the basic requirement,
Condition 3:
People with a certain degree of autonomy and financial ability are more suitable for raising Hilti. Quite simply, there will always be places to spend money on pet dogs (see a doctor when the dog gets sick, get a dog license, get a vaccination, etc.), and these need to be supported by a certain economy. At the same time, whether Hilti is young or adult, it is a pet after all, and it needs the care and love of its owner in life. If the master is a person who can't even take care of himself, how can he talk about taking care of Hilti?
