History

• His exact origin is unknown
• He has existed for centuries as a herding dog in England and Scotland

Personality and Behavior

• He's strong, agile, extremely energetic and possesses a lot of stamina
• He's very intelligent and loves working
• If he isn't mentally and physically stimulated he will start behaving badly (he isn't a good choice if you cannot give him lots of exercise everyday)
• He's loyal and gentle (great with children!)
• He likes barking and can be quite noisy

Training

• He's very easy to train. He learns commands very quickly.

Shedding

• He sheds profusely! You will find a lot of hair in your home - stuck to your couch, carpets and clothes - and to just about everything else. You will be vacuuming regularly.

Grooming / Maintenance

• His short coat only needs to be brushed occasionally. However, because it sheds profusely you may find yourself brushing it a couple of times a week, or even daily, to reduce the hair in your home (what you remove with a brush doesn't end up on the couch!).

Other varieties

• Collie (Rough)
