About collies
The Collie was developed centuries ago to be a herder, watchdog, and companion. Made famous by “Lassie," a fictional Collie popular in the 1950s, this breed is well-loved as both a working dog and as a pet.
Collies come in two varieties – rough coat and smooth coat – but are recognized by their distinctive flopped-over ears, thick hair, and long faces. These proud dogs are friendly, excellent with children, and are very intelligent and trainable.
