Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
Also known as Rough Collie, Lassie dog
A gentle, graceful herder with a famous silken coat
Bred to herd sheep in the Scottish Highlands, the Collie is gentle, intelligent and deeply attached to its family. It is sensitive, eager to please and good with children, and its full coat needs regular brushing.

This breed needs about 60 minutes of activity a day. Around 3 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

They can be vocal when bored or alarmed. Enough exercise, training and company help, and early training to stop on cue makes life easier.
