Collie

Herder

In the border country between Scotland and England, border collies were invaluable to shepherds, allowing them to maintain large flocks of sheep.

Right Breed for You?

The Collie is a devoted family dog, especially with children. Although they require daily walks, they can also be couch potatoes. Despite the Rough Collie's immense coat, they only need to be brushed about once a week, although the need for brushing may increase in shedding season. Collies are also a very clean breed and are noted for not having a doggie odor.
