Sparky is a pure bred Sheltie and is as smart as they come. Sparky was born October 30th 1996. He is very easy to train and he knows many tricks. He can do all his tricks either with hand commands or by voice commands. He can sit, sit-up, roll-over, speak, play dead, lie-down, jump through a hoop and I am sure that if we tried he could learn many more. He loves to ride in the car and jump on the trampoline with us. As with all good things Sparky died in Aug of 2007. He was a great addition to my family and is missed.
