Shetlands were inhabited as early as 1500 BC. e. During the Iron Age, many stone fortresses were built, the ruins of which have survived to this day. Around 297 AD e. Shetland became part of the Pictish realm, along with most of Northern Scotland. Later they were conquered by the Vikings. Stone buildings from all these periods are well preserved in the almost treeless Shetlands. In the 9th century, the Vikings moved from robbery to colonization. The Shetlands were colonized by the Norwegians, who brought their own language - West Norse Norn - and laws to the islands. Norn existed as a colloquial language until the 19th century. Shetland was Christianized in the 10th century. In 1347, Norway suffered from the Black Death and in 1397 entered the Kalmar Union with Denmark. Danish influence in Norway grew stronger. King Christian I of Denmark experienced financial difficulties and in 1468 concluded an agreement to transfer the Orkney Islands to Scotland for 50,000 guilders and in 1469 Shetland for 8,000 guilders. He left in the contract a clause on the possibility of redeeming the islands for a fixed amount of 210 kg of gold or 2310 kg of silver. Several attempts were made in the 17th-18th centuries, but to no avail.

It is believed that the breed is as old as the islands themselves. At one time, the use of Shelties - a small dog - was possible, since they were required not to guard the herds, but only to manage them. In conditions when the herds were not numerous, and the sheep were not large, the Shelties coped well with their duty. However, at the end of the 19th century, sheep breeding farms were enlarged and small shepherd dogs were no longer able to cope with the volume of work. Shepherds began to use larger shepherd dogs, which immediately affected the Sheltie - the breed was on the verge of extinction. In 1914 the English Sheltie Club was formed. The first standard specified that a Sheltie should have the appearance of a Miniature Collie. At the same time, the official name was assigned to the breed.
