CollieCollies are generally medium-sized dogs of between 10 kg and 25 kg (22-55 lb), fairly lightly built with a pointed snout and erect or partly erect ears, giving a foxy impression. Cattle-herding types tend to be rather more stocky. Collies are always alert and are active and agile. Most of these wonderful dogs have come from situations where they were once loved family members and have been taken care of and are even housebroken. One look into their eyes and you know how deeply they can love you. The graying muzzle cannot compete with a puppy but please take a moment to consider a senior dog. The dogs that worked the rough terrain of Scotland's hill country and endured its cold, blustery winters had to be hardy and independent, able to work far from their masters. They had to be both quick to respond to commands and able to solve problems on their own, for the lives of the sheep often depended on the response and decisions of the dogs. This intelligence, independence, and responsiveness are the characteristics that continue to make them popular generations after most Collies have ceased to work with sheep and shepherds. Queen Victoria saved the Collies from obscurity on the farm. Sensitive, sweet, kind, easy to train and loyal. Usually good with other pets and friendly with other dogs. Very devoted to and protective of his loved ones. One Collie travelled 2000 miles to find his family after he became lost. Collies have received the Ken-L-Ration Hero Dog award 5 times. An excellent children's companion, playful and gentle, with some exceptions. Would like to know more and also get special deals and discount?
