.:Collie facts:.
- Purebred adult Collies stand 22 to 26 inches
tall at the shoulder and weigh 45 to 90 pounds.
There is no such thing as a Miniature Collie. The
small dog that resembles a Collie is a Shetland
Sheepdog (Sheltie), a completely different breed.
- Not all Collies look like Lassie. Collies come
in two varieties, rough and smooth, and each variety
may be one of 4 colors: Sable and white, tricolor,
blue merle, and white. (The color white is rare in
Norway
- The smooth Collie is identical in conformation
to the rough, but it’s outer coat is short, hard,
dense and flat.
- Collies are loving, loyal, devoted companions.
The Collie standard forbids any display of
sullenness, timidity or viciousness, and it is
extremely rare to find a Collie possessing these
undesirable traits.
- Collie ears stand erect except for the top 1/4
which is tipped forward.
- Collies are nibblers, particularly when in play
or when exhibiting their herding traits. They
frequently nibble gently at their family as a sign
of playfulness or affection, and this should not be
misinterpreted as biting.
