The Rough Collie is a breed of dog developed originally for herding in Scotland. It is well known because of the works of author Albert Payson Terhune, and was popularized in later generations by the Lassie novel, movies, and television shows. There is also a smooth-coated variety; some breed organizations consider the smooth-coat and rough-coat dogs to be variations of the same breed. Collies have four basic coat colors: sable and white, where the "Sable" ranges from pale tan to a golden mahogany; white; tricolour, which is primarily black edged in tan; and blue merle, which is a mottled gray. This is an intelligent and friendly dog who loves to work. The coat needs to be brushed frequently to keep it in a show condition, but it does not require extensive care. They are mid-sized dogs, suiting them to live in small houses and apartments. The herding instinct is still very much apparent in the breed today. Visit Wikipedia.org: Rough Collie for more info.
