Hi, this is Butterfly.

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with:
28A. Shetland dog breed (6)
I have c?l?ie (if my letters are correct).

'Collie' seems the obvious answer, but I am having trouble finding any reference to it as a 'Shetland dog breed'. All I seem to keep coming up with is 'Sheltie', which doesn't fit.

for 1D. 'Caper' (6), I have 'frolic'. ( the 'c' of frolic forms the starting letter of the answer to 28A.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thankyou, Butterfly Smile

Evidently the Sheltie as a breed traces back to Shetland sheep dogs being cross bred with Border Collies (although I am no expert!). If this is so, I assume COLLIE is correct.

Hi Butterfly

No question about it, COLLIE is correct. Below is a reference you can refer to:

Hi Lezzles and Dutchy,
Thankyou both for your help, it is much appreciated as always!

Dutchy,
Thankyou for the 2 websites that you included as references- I read the information on both of them, and they helped to ease my mind with regard to 'collie' as the answer to 'Shetland dog breed', especially since I wasn't getting very far with my own enquiries on the matter!
Thankyou also for your reminder about the coming deadline! Laughing , I'd better shake a tailfeather and get it posted first thing on monday morning!

Good luck to you both in the competitions! Talk to you again soon.
Warm regards, Butterfly Very Happy
