Dogs - Rough Collie
About collies
The rough collie originated in Scotland, where they were bred to herd sheep. More about the early history of dogs and the development of breeds. The long coat helped to keep the dog warm in the harsh, snowy winters. Brushing helps to keep the coat looking at its best. The dog has a good herding ability and is good with children. The dog will respond well to training and will enjoy going for long walks with it's owner. The most famous rough collie was Lassie, the film and TV star. Rough collies can be a variety of colours: black and white; black, brown and white, or blue merle. Blue merle dogs sometimes have blue, or blue-flecked eyes. Height: dogs 56 - 61 cm, bitches 51 - 56 cm at shoulder.
