Collie – Watch a Video About Collies
Collie refers to various breeds of herding dog originating primarily in Scotland. The exact origin of the name is uncertain, although it probably originates that collie was a regional word for “something useful”. The fictional Lassie, star of movies, books, and television shows, was a Rough Collie, which helped to popularize Collies in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The highlands of Scotland were the natural home of the Collie, where the sheepdogs had been used for centuries by shepherds, but the modern form of the breed was mostly developed in England in the late 1800s. The modern Collie of both Rough and Smooth varieties are available in four distinct colors. Sable and White dogs are generally the most recognizable, the choice of the Lassie television and movie producers.
Collies are known to be generally sweet and protective. They tend to be easy to train due to a middle level of intelligence and a willingness to please. They are natural herding dogs and need the companionship of a family or other dogs.
