collies
Long-haired shepherds
Collies are a breed of herding dog originating in Scotland, known for their intelligence, loyalty, and distinctive long, flowing coats.
The breed comes in two varieties: the rough collie with its luxurious mane, and the smooth collie with shorter fur.
Collies gained widespread popularity through the fictional character Lassie, cementing their image as devoted family dogs.
Our collie rounds up the kids like they're sheep.
