About the Collie
The Collie is a large dog breed originating in Scotland. Adult dogs typically weigh 50 to 75 pounds and live 12 to 14 years. The breed is described as gentle, intelligent, family-bonded, sensitive.
Families wanting a gentle, devoted herding dog and willing to commit to coat care. The breed is famously good with children. Dense condos where alert barking bothers neighbours, or homes unwilling to keep up with the heavy coat.
Adult Collies need about 60 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 75 minutes. The coat is double-coated with high shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
