Collie Breeders | Collie Puppies | Collie Photos | Puppy Names Description: The Collie presents a picture
of true balance, each part being in harmonious proportion to every other part
and to the whole. Collies are considered one of the most beautiful breeds because
of their elegant appearance. Sometimes referred to as the Scottish Collie, the
Collie is of Scottish heritage. They come in two coat varieties, Smooth
Coated Collies and the Rough Coated Collie with the only difference being the
length of their coat. Rough coats will occasionally produce smooth coats in
their offspring. The Smooth Coated Collie looks like it has a crew cut. Rough
Coated Collies have always been more popular than the smooth, and the personalities
slightly differ in snappiness, which may be why the Rough is so much more popular.
Collies are medium sized dogs with either long fluffy fur, or short smooth fur.
They have long faces and elegant bodies. They come in colors of sable and white,
tricolor, blue merle and white. Their personality gives way to their popularity,
as they are very gentle, loving, affectionate and friendly. Much like the TV
collie named "Lassie", Collies will strive to be with their families and endure
difficult hardships to remain loyal to their owners. Forever immortalized by
"Lassie" (who was actually a lad!), they are a true family dog that enjoys
human companionship.

to get to its family. Some can be stubborn, and they tend to bark a lot. They
are protective of children, a good watch dog and easy to train. The Smooth Coated
version is said to be slightly nippier than the Rough Coated. Watch-dog: High. They are
