 Whomever
has heard the words "Lassie come home!" is familiar with the Collie. A breed
made famous by television's beloved "Lassie", this centuries-old breed hails
from the Scottish Isles, where it was used for herding livestock in the
Highlands. It is thought that a drop of Borzoi blood may be responsible for
the Collie's fine head. Long before "Lassie" hit the airwaves, the Collie
was popular in Europe. Queen Victoria kept several Collies at the Royal
Kennels at Windsor Palace. Today's Collie makes a great farm dog for
herding livestock - or a great mom's helper to herd children. This
intelligent, loyal and affectionate breed makes a great all-round family dog! Agile, athletic and capable, Collies are
active, and very eager to please. Collies are very affectionate with their families and those
they are familiar with, but can be somewhat reserved with strangers. They
are not known to be aggressive or shy.
Collies love to be active,
and excel in such activities as agility, flyball, search and rescue - or a
demanding game of fetch in the back yard. The breeds intelligence makes it
perform extremely well in obedience.
This large sized breed has either a
rough (long) or smooth coat which can be sable and white, sable merle and
white, blue merle and white, tri-color or mostly white with color markings. Grooming
requirements are moderate - a good brushing is needed to keep the rough,
dense coat in good shape - especially when shedding. If you are an active family
looking for a wonderful family pet, be sure to take a good look at the
Collie! Collies are suited to both city and rural life. |
