Where are Collies from?
The Collie hails from Scotland and Northern England, where they were used as herding dogs in the 18th century.
How many types of Collies are there?
There are Rough Collies and Smooth Collies. Rough Collies (i.e. long-haired Collies) are the more popular variety, and what one normally thinks of as a Collie. Smooth Collies have short hair and have their own heritage and tricolors, and they can be a bit more shy and fearful than Rough Collies.
Which breeds mix with Collies?
1. Afollie (Afghan Hound + Collie) 2. Cadoodle (Collie + Poodle) 3. Boxollie (Boxer + Collie) 4. Gollie (Golden Retriever + Collie) 5. Sprollie (English Springer Spaniel + Collie)
Collie size
Collies are medium-large dogs, most weighing 40-65 lbs and standing around 20-24 inches tall.
What colors do Collies come in?
Collies come in a variety of colors, among them blue merle, white, sable, and tricolor.
How much do Collies shed?
Collies are moderate to heavy shedders -- nothing a weekly brushing can't soothe!
How much do Collies bark?
Like most herding dogs, Collies can be rather vocal. As with any dog, they can be discouraged from barking as frequently with proper training and exercise.
Are Collies good with kids?
Collies are notoriously wonderful with children. They are very sensitive dogs and are thus adept at playing with, caring for, guarding, and even rescuing children. As with any breed, it is recommended that your child is always supervised when interacting with your Collie to keep both the child and dog safe.
Are Collies good family dogs?
Collies are family dogs in the truest sense of the word. They are intelligent, devoted, friendly, affectionate, gentle, and love children.
Do Collies have a lot of health problems?
Collies are a quite sturdy breed with a relatively long lifespan.
What diseases are Collies prone to?
1. Hip and Elbow Dysplasia: Hip and elbow dysplasia are two of the most common skeletal diseases seen in dogs. They are similar diseases in which either the hip or elbow joint has grown abnormally or is misshapen. The abnormal shape prevents the joints and sockets from properly meeting one another, resulting in rubbing and grinding instead of sliding smoothly. Unlike in hip dysplasia, where the main problem is joint instability, the abnormalities seen in elbow dysplasia often result in pieces...
How much does a Collie cost?
You can adopt a Collie at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost to adopt a Collie is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying Collies from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they usually cost anywhere from $800-$10,000.
Where can I adopt a Collie?
The easiest way to adopt a Collie would be through a rescue that specializes in Collies. A great place to start would be by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Collies in your area.
