COLLIE
Collies originated in Scotland where they were bred to gather, move and protect sheep and other animals. Collies were selected to herd because they are gentle, alert, and intelligent. The qualities that make the Collie a good herding dog continue to serve modern Collies in their role as family companions. The Collie comes in two varieties, the Rough coat and the Smooth coat. It is thought that the Rough coated Collie was used in the northern part of Scotland as a herder and the Smooth coated Collie was used as a drover to take the sheep to market. One standard is used for both varieties.
