Ive met some shelties and there coats are really smooth.
The training assistant in the class we took Tucker to has a sheltie(well 3 shelties) and she is smooth coated.

They must be a sheltie mix or something then cause they don’t come in smooth coats according to the breed standard. Or at least they’re not supposed to

Interesting. The akc doesn't recognise smooth shelties, so maybe BYB?

Nope they are from a reputable breeder. They arent named smooth coated shelties her just are.

I never heard the scent thing before but maybe? Idk. I would think the occasional bath would keep it at bay. Also my friend has a beagle and they don’t exercise her that much and she’s perfectly fine. But then again she does have other dogs to play with, not sure how much she does that though. But yeah, I don’t think they’re THAT energetic once older. Otherwise a coonhound or bloodhound or something could work or basset, all are pretty lazy I think. At least once they’re older. But they’re bigger than you want.

They dont really smell. I know 3 beagles.

I may be wrong about that. Do we know any beagle keepers on the forum? Yeah, coonhounds and bloodhounds are too big...and maybe a little extra arooo-ey

Our backdoor neighbor has a beagle he gets outside for 30 minutes and gets a 20 minute walk a day.
Then a family friend has a beagle thats 6 or 7 and he is super energetic like a few rounds of fetch and 20 minutes outside.
Then they have a beagle x cocker spaniel and she is super lazy.

That’s not bad at all

That makes sense lol and I’m not sure. Oh wait! @sourland has beagles. I’m sure he could tell us if they smell or their energy levels

Interesting. Well, they'd be kicked out of a show in seconds so I wouldn't be able to show then

She shows them in agility at some high show in the US

Like actually smooth like a Lab or Pit type coat or just less fluffy?
