All varieties of Collies come from Scotland where they were used in the Scottish Lowlands as a hard working sheepdog. The word “colley” is a Scottish term for a sheep with a black face and legs. Claims have been made that the Rough Collie was crossed with the Borzoi. The Collie remained a working sheepdog until the 1860’s when Queen Victoria encountered the breed and was so impressed that she took some back to the royal kennels in Windsor. This stimulated great interest in the breed overnight.

Rough Coated Collies: Coat sheds dirt easily, but a weekly brushing will keep them in good condition. Collies shed a lot, take extra care during shedding to remove mats and tangles. Smooth Coated Collies: Minimal grooming is necessary. Regular walks or free exercise is necessary to keep a well balanced dog.
