Collies are highly trainable and excel in various activities, including obedience and agility. They have been popularized in pop culture through the famous fictional Collie character "Lassie," known for its courage and loyalty. Overall, Collies are known for their versatility, making them great family pets, therapy dogs, and even working dogs in certain roles.

The coat of a Rough Collie is one of its most distinguishing features.

Coat Type: The Rough Collie has a luxurious double coat, consisting of a long, straight outer coat and a soft, furry undercoat. The outer coat is abundant and should never be overly soft or woolly. The combination of these two layers provides insulation and protection against various weather conditions.


Grooming Needs:

Regular Brushing: Due to the length and density of their coat, Rough Collies require regular brushing to prevent matting and tangling. Brushing a few times a week is usually sufficient, but during the shedding seasons (spring and fall), more frequent brushing may be necessary to remove loose hair.

Bathing: Baths are needed occasionally, especially if the Collie gets dirty or has an odor. Use a mild dog shampoo to avoid drying out their skin and coat.

Ears: Check and clean the ears regularly to prevent wax buildup and potential ear infections. Collies have semi-erect ears, and debris can accumulate in the ear canal.

Nails: Keep the nails trimmed to a comfortable length. Long nails can cause discomfort and affect the dog's gait.

Teeth: Regular dental care, such as brushing or providing dental chews, is essential to maintain good oral health.

Seasonal Shedding: Rough Collies experience seasonal shedding, especially during the spring and fall. During these times, they may shed their undercoat more heavily. Increased brushing can help manage shedding and keep loose hair under control.
