rough collie

Long-haired sheep dog

A rough collie is a large herding dog with a long, thick double coat, pointed snout, and distinctive mane.

The breed became iconic through the character Lassie.

The rough collie's intelligence makes it easy to train.

The smooth collie is the same breed with shorter fur.
