Long-snouted sheepdog
A collie is a breed of herding dog with a long, pointed snout and thick coat, originally from Scotland.
The rough collie has a luxuriant mane; the smooth collie has shorter fur.
Collies are known for intelligence and trainability: The collie rounded up the sheep with minimal commands.
The breed gained fame through Lassie, the fictional dog of film and television.
